On behalf of the City of Little Falls and Little Falls Community Schools we would like to cordially invite you to the 2024 Community Fair event held at Little Falls Community High School (LFCHS) on May 1st from 11am until 1pm. 

This event is to inform high school students of the volunteer opportunities and community service activities in Little Falls. The idea for this event arose from a meeting with high school students collaborating with ‘OurTown 56345’. These students hosted events and gathered input from their fellow students and shared with the community something they desired was an opportunity to know about ways to serve the community through volunteerism. 
In response to their findings, the concept of this Community Fair event was formed. The LFCHS is gracious to host this Community Fair for free on the Day of Caring event. After their morning volunteering, students will come back and have lunch. During the afternoon, there will be activities at the school which will include the Community Fair. If you choose to participate, please register with Jon Radermacher jonr@ci.little-falls.cmn.us no later than 8am, April 23, 2024. If you are able to participate you will be expected to do the following:
• Set up for the event by 10:30am- a table will be provided by the school, 
• Have at least one representative at your table until 1pm
• Clean up/ Remove all your items from your space no later than 2pm.

What you should share with the students:
• Your organization’s purpose
• Opportunities for involvement
• Potential time commitments of volunteers 
• You may provide literature or handouts to students for more details
• Other giveaways should be appropriate for high school students and permitted on school grounds.
• Be open to engaging with the students and hear their ideas and needs for our community.

If you have any questions about the event please contact Jon Radermacher, Sheila Watercott, Deb Yliniemi-Ahlin, or Purva Watten and please share with other organizations or groups that you believe might be fitting for this event. This event is a collaboration between the City of Little Falls, LFCHS, Stand Up 4 U Coalition and Little Falls Area Chamber.
