The Robidoux Row is holding a back to school bash on August 29th from 10 AM- 4 PM. We will be needing volunteers for multiple locations in the museum, as well as, for activities for children. We will be having children and families touring the museum and holding activities. We will need volunteers for the front desk, throughout the museum for security, as well as, assisting with special presentations we will be having throughout the day. A majority of the event will take place inside, though one activity will be on our upper deck, which is shaded assisting children with coloring bricks. If volunteers are able to tell us any child-specific skills they have, that would also be helpful. We will be asking all guests and volunteers to wear a mask and our volunteers will all have hand sanitizer stations by them to allow for protection and cleanliness. Throughout the day the museum will be wiped down with an alcohol-based cleaner to prepare for additional guests. Please join us for the whole day or for whatever time you can spare!
