• 2014 City of El Cerrito & WorldOne 4th of July Festival Needs Your Support!
  Volunteers are essential for creating a memorable community event. At the end of the day, once the music stops and the clean-up is done, you will feel a warm glow, a sense of community, a belonging to something bigger than oneself and a good night’s sleep. The 4th of July festival provides an opportunity for people to contribute to creating a sense of place by serving their community and volunteering their time.
  To become a volunteer or to sign-up your organization for fundraising, please complete the 4th of July Volunteer Application and email it to Vivian Brandt by Monday, June 9th.  Please contact Vivian with questions regarding volunteering or fundraising at (510) 559-7007.
