CORE Luncheon
Note from Optimist Jill:
The CORE luncheon will be February 5. We need about six volunteers to be at the Junior High at 10:00 a.m. The first of three lunch
shifts begins at 10:37 a.m. and we'll need a little time to get set
up. We will be serving Little Ceasar’s pizza so it should not be
very labor intensive for the most part. I have asked the school to
provide apples, veggies, drinks and table service. I need two more
volunteers at this time.
Please contact me at
Jill.Cooksey@courts.mo.gov if you would like to assist.
Please help if you are able!!
