Volunteers Needed for Healthy Living Expo

Garland, Texas – Volunteers are the backbone of any important undertaking. The same is true for the Healthy Living Expo on Saturday, May 2, 2009 at the Garland ISD Special Events Center.

 
The event theme is “Healthy You, Healthy Earth: Rx for a Better World.” The City of Garland, Garland ISD, Baylor Medical Center at Garland and the Garland Chamber of Commerce will join forces to demonstrate how caring for both ourselves and the earth creates a healthy lifestyle, and has a positive impact on the world around us. The Expo will offer exhibitor booths, free services, demonstrations and entertainment, all focused on helping citizens make positive changes to their daily lives.
 
Volunteer opportunities are available for adults and older teens. Duties will include exhibitor check in, guest and exhibitor relations, arts and crafts, and other interactive activities. Some exhibitors will need volunteer manpower to help accept donation and recycling drop-offs.
 
Anyone interested in volunteering can download a volunteer application at www.GarlandGoesGreen.org or contact Shelley Franklin at 972-205-3285 or sfrankli@ci.garland.tx.us.
