Set-up for Art Show

Help set-up Waukesha County’s Health and Human Services Art Fair for youth. Responsibilities include moving tables and chairs, and decorating the room with scarves, plants, and other objects.

In November and December, share your Christmas spirit with elders at Linden Court by singing Christmas carols.
