I am the parent school coordinator in a local school. I have just started a skills database and parents volunteer forum and it works well. Maybe you could do the same?

Hey, would be very interested in getting involved in one of the fairs! I’m a studio artist at ArtWaves and pretty new to this sort of thing but would be very interested.
