We are always looking for home hospitality for our out-of-town guests. If you can offer sleeping space, see Barb Muller or email BB10@hatds.org.
Volunteers are also appreciated at the annual Slice 'n Dice party, an open-to-all gathering where the food preparation begins. It's almost as much fun as Bayou Bedlam itself. Come join us at 1135 Oxford around 7:00 on the Wednesday before the Bayou Bedlam weekend.
