to take form. With King
spearheading the effort, the
Sligo chapter announced
their plans at a statewide
meeting of League members
m October 1979 and began
enlisting help from other
organizations.
“The response from in
dividuals and groups
wanting to help has been
wonderful so far,” says
King. “We hope to have
several hundred volunteers
working during the event
itself.”
