💪 PAID GROUP OPPORTUNITY | ART IN THE PARK

The Good Life Institute is looking for a local group or organization to help with takedown following Art in the Park on Saturday, September 12.

We are looking for a crew who can assist with:

⛺ Taking down and packing up tents
🪑 Putting away tables and chairs
📦 General event takedown and cleanup

Start time: 4:00 PM
Time required: Approximately 1–1.5 hours, possibly less depending on the size of the crew.

This does involve lifting and physical work, so we are looking for an adult group or older, capable volunteers rather than young children.

💰 This is a PAID opportunity!

Interested groups are invited to send us a proposal with:
how many people you can provide and how much your group would charge for the takedown.

This could be a great little fundraising opportunity for a sports team, club, nonprofit or community organization!
