CUPCAKES!

On Sunday, March 29th, 2009, two thousand cupcakes will get together to make a difference in our community.

But the cupcakes can’t do it by themselves.

Capital CupcakeCamp is looking for volunteers to help with:

Setup
Baker Registration (all those cupcakes have to come from somewhere)
Taster Registration (all those cupcakes have to go somewhere)
Greeting and Hosting (making sure our guests are comfortable)
Cupcake Showcasing (making sure our cupcakes are comfortable)
Takedown
and probably a few other things, too.

Come out, have fun, and help make our first event an overwhelming success.

And yes, you can have some cupcakes.
