We\u2019re always keen to hear from friendly and positive people who want to assist cannabis law reform.
MardiGrass wishes to extend a welcome and many thanks for those who donate their time during this event.
Without you it could not happen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We appreciate your interest in helping us create an amazing MardiGrass experience for all participants over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year MardiGrass is from May 5th, 6th and 7th, but (as always) it really kicks off many weeks earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We particularly need help with site preparation.
So if you have those skills, we would love to hear from you NOW!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The important thing is that we need volunteers BEFORE the event more than we need them DURING.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to be part of the preparations, there are three methods to make contact:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking reasonable English is necessary, and a willingness to work. We don\u2019t want people who sit around smoking all day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
