How To Help Out At
Sandwich Freedom Days
2009
If your business, group, or organization
would like to help with an Event, we will put your name on
the Schedule of Events, which is on our
website, plus all printed brochures.
This is a great way to not only spend time
helping the Community,
but to also promote your business, group,
or organization.
If you are interested in helping with any
of the below activities, please send us an email,
or phone Linda Kelleher at
(630) 742-8161. THANKS!

Generally keep the air from getting stale.

shoot some video of parade and any events, take pictures, do

Things We Need
PA system — we had some issues last year with announcing contests, events
and general communications. We would welcome any donation or lending of a
three or four speaker amplified PA system. Need not be anything fancy — a
microphone, amp and speakers. Working system preferred, but we would
consider a non-working if it might be easily fixable.
Bullhorn — A portable amplified bullhorn for use among the locations
downtown.
Overhead lighting — As our planned events go into the evenings, there are booths and
areas that need additional lighting to function properly. Self-contained
lighting apparatus is choice number one, but we will consider any lighting
equipment or ideas on how to accomplish this.
