ARDEN SWIM CLUB NEEDS YOU AT THE FAIR!!

The World Famous Meatball & Pizza Stand in Shady Grove is back, and we need pool members to join our Board members in covering shifts!

You don’t have to commit to the whole day — just a few hours can make a HUGE difference.

Grab a friend, pick a shift, and come enjoy the live music, great food, and Arden Fair fun while representing our pool.

Never volunteered before? No worries! There will be plenty of experienced volunteers there to show you the ropes — it’s easy to jump in, fun, fast-paced, and your help is truly needed and appreciated!

(Kids are welcome to lend a hand, too!)

A few hours from each of us = a successful Fair for Arden Swim Club!
