First Congregational Church of Lyme Seeks Volunteer Parking Attendants for Hamburg Fair, Aug. 15-17

Parking Proceeds Serve as Church’s Only Annual Fundraiser

LYME–The First Congregational Church of Lyme is looking for volunteers to assist with parking during its traditional fundraiser at the Hamburg Fair, Aug. 15-17. 

Organizers in a news release said the church operating budget relies on proceeds from those parking on the lawn during the fair, which serves as the church’s only fundraising event each year. 

Organizers said they prefer to have four or five volunteers per two-hour shift. Three people will suffice during certain shifts. 

Volunteers are needed at the church driveway entrance to collect money, and on the church lawn to monitor available spots and lead fair-goers to those spots.

To volunteer, sign up here.

Volunteers can also register by contacting Rich Clippinger at rclippinger@snet.net or 860-910-2512, or by reaching out to the church at ctlymechurch@gmail.com or 860-434-0220.
