2024,  Spring Fair

2024 Spring Fair – Need your help!

We’re on the lookout for a dedicated planning team to kickstart the TiS Spring Fair, formerly known as the Cherry Blossom Fair.

In order to ensure the success of this event, we urgently need to assemble a small group of enthusiastic Spring Fair planners. This presents a unique opportunity for you to contribute to our community alongside fellow passionate parents, fostering connections that may last a lifetime.

These planning roles, already under the guidance of an appointed coordinator, aren’t entirely new; each position has been previously held by experienced volunteers from 2023 who are eager to share their insights, assistance, and advice.

If you had the pleasure of attending last year’s Cherry Blossom Fair, you’re well aware of the incredible experience it provided for our community. For those who haven’t yet experienced a TiS Fair, here’s your chance to come aboard and discover the magic firsthand!
