Parades need workers.
Parades don’t just happen. They take planning, and meetings, and phone calls, and walking into stores and companies. And then on the day of the event, parades need Parade Marshals and Safety Team Members, people to answer questions, guide people to their places, answer questions, point people in the right direction, and also answer questions.
If you’re a worker bee and that’s how you’d like to help, do we have some jobs for you!
But you gotta let us know. So sign up below and someone will get back to you shortly.
Oh, and be ready to work and answer questions!
If you would like to volunteer, give us a call: (901) 634-1548
Here is your personal invitation from Carolyn Young to become a volunteer for the Hernando Veterans Parade .
