Be a friendly face wherever you're needed! Looking for a way to help out wherever the magic is needed most? Join us as an Event Float volunteer at this year's Aullwood Winter Luminary Walk! Floaters are the friendly, flexible helpers who keep everything running smoothly. You'll be a welcome face around the event, stepping into support areas that are short-handed and making sure your fellow volunteers are cared for too.
