volunteers from the sophomore and freshman parents as well). We 
particularly
need volunteers to bake cookies the week of the reception or  to help 
clean up
after the reception. Anyone who can volunteer the day of the reception

reception
(picking up /storing supplies, baking), or who would  like to make a
