There will be a brief orientation, followed by volunteer activities. Children must be at least 12 and accompanied by a parent/guardian

            Registration closes on Thursday, August 27 at 5 pm (or when registration is full), and is limited to 15 people. Please register everyone who's attending, including your children. If your plans change, please notify Mae Lum at maewlum@gmail.com so that your spot can go to another Cornellian.
