  The Longwood Center for the Visual Arts is looking for volunteers to help with our annual Winter Wonderland Free Family Workshop.  From glittery snowflakes and a warm fireplace to snow covered trees, the transformation of the LCVA has already begun!  At the workshop, children and their parents will be making their own personalized greeting cards, poinsettia flowers, glittery snowflakes, handmade gift-wrap, and a host of other wintery delights!  We need volunteers to help prepare as well as help children create crafts on the day of the event!
  
  To decorate or do prep work, come now through December 2^nd.  Or to help on the day of the event, join us on Saturday, December 3rd, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.  To sign up to help, contact Hilary Symes at symesha@longwood.edu or call 395-2697.
