The SES Ice Cream Festival is right around the corner. This huge event, held noon to 4 p.m. June 7, needs lots of volunteers. There are two ways you can help: First - volunteer to work a stand or a game. There are positions inside or outside and for every two hours you volunteer, you will receive 10 game tickets to spend. The second way you can volunteer is to make a donation to the basket raffle. There are links to sign up on the SES PTO Facebook page.
