May 3rd - Give Local 757: www.givelocal757.org

The objective is to use the funds raised to support a high school delegation to Greifswald, Germany in June 2017.
May 7th - Annual Children’s Festival of Friends at Newport News Park; 10am to 5pm FREE parking for volunteers – get a pass from Kate.
Volunteer for a few hours and help the children learn some international flags or assist them with this year’s craft.
May 21st - 2nd Annual World Arts Celebration; FREE – 4pm -9 pm
