Wychwood Barns Volunteer Opportunities

Though it is out of our area, I LOVE Wychwood Barns -- all of it! Re-imagining a space to create an artist's enclave; a lovely public park; and a place for the community to gather.
I've Blogged about it in the past for those reasons, despite it being outside of our community (but a lovely walk away!)
This week, Ruth, the Wychwood Barns volunteer co-ordinator, contacted me and asked me to highlight some of WBCA's (Wychwood Barns Community Association) volunteer opportunities. So here they are:

The WBCA is seeking Event Planners
The WBCA will be hosting several large events this year at the Barns and we are looking for enthusiastic, community minded people to help with all areas of the planning process.
The WBCA will be hosting an Event Planning Orientation at the Community Gallery on Monday March 19th at 7pm. (The entrance off Wychwood Ave).
There are many openings that need to be filled including promotions, marketing, sponsorship, fundraising, food and beverage, entertainment, decorations and more. There are opportunities for all levels of commitment, you can take the lead or be a team member. Whatever your contribution ability, we would love to meet with you.
If you, or someone you know, is interested in attending this informational session please register with Ruth Butler at volunteerwbca@gmail.com.
If you are interested, but unable to attend, please email Ruth Butler at volunteerwbca@gmail.com and you will be contacted with the event information and opportunities.
The WBCA would like to thank you for your continuing support and we look forward to hearing from you.

GROWING OUR COMMUNITY!
Calling all Green Thumbs and Garden Designers
This spring the WBCA will be planting a turn-of-the-century cottage garden in a small space along Wychwood, close to the sidewalk.
We are inviting all interested gardeners from the community to share with us their vision, ideas and plans for this space.
There are specific challenges and guidelines attached to this project. If you are interested please contact Ruth Butler at volunteerwbca@gmail.com for a complete outline of the requirements.
The WBCA is asking for submissions in the form of drawings along with plant lists.
Deadline is April 15th, 2012."

Cheers,
Vanessa
