HELP MAKE PIES (THIS IS THE FUN PART!)  J

• Set Up:  Friday March 13th.  We need about 10 adults and 15 students to lay the plastic and do general prep of the area we will be using, including making up pie boxes.  We will start around 3pm and continue until done – if you can’t be there at 3:00, come as soon as possible.  We will work until we are done (hopefully around 6 - 6:30pm if we have enough people come early).
• Make Pies:  Saturday morning, March 14th from 8:00 am until we are done (around 2pm), we will need about 20 adults and 25 students for pie making.  Bring a sack lunch or snack for the break when we switch from Apple to Blueberry.  Drinks will be provided.  (Please arrive 15 minutes early.) 
• Clean Up:  Saturday afternoon 2:00 pm until done, we will need 4-6 adults and 6-8 students for cleanup. 
• Apple Disposal:  A LARGE trailer is needed that morning to haul away the apple peels.  A disposal site is also needed for the apple peels and cores.  The trailer needs to be in place early in the morning.
