JRACraft Day does not come together without our volunteers. We are looking for people who can spare a few hours to help us out again this year, either with set up on Friday, December 1, or during the event on Saturday, December 2.

Volunteer activities include assisting with set up, posting signs outside, greeting guests, assisting with the membership table, artist relief, retrieving signs, take down, and clean up.  If you are interested in volunteering, please contact [email protected]. We hope to see you at JRACraft Day!
