Lack of Volunteers Could Put Mt. Airy Day in Jeopardy

Organizers of the event say that more volunteers are needed if the event is to continue.

Mt. Airy Day was held almost two weeks ago now, and after everything was said and done, there’re was one-thing organizers could’ve used more of—volunteers.

“It’s something I would love to keep doing,” said Mt. Airy Day organizer Janet Amato at last week’s East Mt. Airy Neighbors meeting.  “But we really need people to help run the event.”

This year’s Mt. Airy Day was so short-staffed that organizers are afraid it might not be able to continue if more people don’t step up to the plate.

“I would like to be able to continue the event, but we need more bodies there,” Amato said.

Mt. Airy Day takes months of planning.  In fact, organizers will start the early stages of planning next year’s event next month.

But, after all that planning, people are still needed to carry out the plan.

“The community needs to show their support,” Amato said.  “Otherwise, I don’t know how much more we can do.”
