CRANFORD HIGH SCHOOL SERVICE LEARNING FAIR
PARTICIPATING COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS (CBO'S)
October 25, 2007
CRANFORD HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The Cranford Historical Society is looking for high school students to volunteer for a Historical Fashion Show that will be presented to the third grade classes. This event will take place sometime in April over a two-day period, consisting of four (4) presentations at Brookside Place School, Hillside Avenue School, Livingston Avenue School and Orange Avenue School. There will also be two rehearsals (two-hours long) prior to this event. In addition, we will be picking up the students at the high school on those days and we will also feed them lunch at the Hanson House. The Crane-Phillips House Museum will be closed for restoration and there is no date as to when it will re-open. So we only need students for the third grade tours.

They can volunteer in the dining room as a server or a deliverer to those that are homebound. The other way to volunteer is to have students that have special talents come and perform for us. We've had students sing, dance, play a musical instrument or any other kind of talent.
