This event is not in Burlington... but I am. I'm Ted Kohn, Smirkus employee. My family and I reside here in the NNE. I realize traveling to Greensboro to pitch in for a Circus Smirkus Work Party Weekend is not a practical weekend activity for everyone, however, if you have anything you could possibly donate to the cause (see below), I am local and happy to swing by and pick it up. Not everyone realizes that Smirkus is a nonprofit – communicating as much is something I am working to improve. Our organization continues to exist thanks to the generosity of others. That said, any contribution you can offer goes a long way and is very much appreciated. Thanks and here are the details...
Circus Smirkus is opening our brand new and long-awaited, residential summer camp in Greensboro, VT this June!
On May 30-31 we are hosting a Work Party Weekend to put the finishing touches on our newly built dorms, and on making the 135 year old barn and farm house feel like circus-home! JOIN US to volunteer for a weekend full of fun and circus laughter as we ready our shiny new Smirkus Camp for the first group of campers. GO HERE TO SIGN UP http://smirkus.org/volunteer/
