VOLUNTEERS & INTERNS
We have had a great team of them this summer, and sadly most will be saying “seeya” in another week. So, when you see these fine folks, please say thanks:
Andrew Talbot, Lizzie Gonzalez, Michelle Saiyid, and Lauren Taylor!

In addition, WBCH’s Associate Board has been providing a pair of volunteers for breakdown each week since the market’s opening day in May! Thank You, ABOG and Robin for coordinating this effort.
