Event planners still looking for volunteers

This is an announcement we should have had in the paper; I know we are planning an article on summer enrichment programs and this one in particular, but they are still open to volunteers:

"The Hillsborough Arts Council is sponsoring a three day theater and parade workshop at Central Elementary School in conjunction with the Orange County Summer Enrichment program. Volunteer Artists from the Hillsborough Art Council's Handmade Parade will work with children to develop artistic, theatrical and music skills culminating in the Children's Handmade Parade on July 23rd. The parade will begin at 10:30 at Central Elementary and parade to Hillsborough Elementary then back to Central. There are no fees for the workshops.
Students registered in the Summer Enrichment Program will create projects and a performance to stimulate creativity and develop the interrelationship between nature, the arts and humanity. Taking inspiration from the Annual Handmade Parade theme 'The waters of the Eno and her creatures,' the Eno River will serve as a link to the natural environment and science. It will also increase awareness of social responsibility and stewardship of our natural resources.
The collaborative partnership of the Orange County Schools and the Hillsborough Arts Council will give students the opportunity to study and create with professional artists."

They are still seeking volunteers and/or additional artists to help with the event. Call Mark Donley at 602-2550 for additional information.
