Please Join the Fun—A Day in Our Village Is Coming Soon
One of Oak Park’s finest traditions is its annual “A Day in Our Village” festival. This festival is an opportunity for community members within and outside of Oak Park to spend a Sunday afternoon in Scoville Park (at the corner of Oak Park Ave. and Lake St.) and learn about our various local organizations and businesses. Three years ago, OPALGA decided that it wouldn’t be a festive occasion without a little LGBT humor and dubbed our booth “A Gay in Our Village.” The name play has received a tremendously positive response from festival attendees.
This year, we take pride once again in promoting our organization and our services, but we need your help. The festival will be held on Sunday, June 3. We are looking for volunteers to help set up the booth, run it during the festival, and tear it down afterward. We are seeking volunteers to fill the following time slots:
10:30 a.m. to Noon (which includes setup)
Noon to 1:30 p.m.
1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. (which includes teardown)
All you need is a willingness to greet people and tell them about our organization. Last year’s participants all agree that they had a wonderful time. For your efforts, you will receive a T-shirt with our “A Gay in Our Village” theme. If you are interested in helping with this year’s festival, you can either call The OPALGA Center at (708)848-0273 or e-mail Brad Bartels at . Please join in the fun!
