Community invited to get involved in Historic Downtown Chelan Association

CHELAN -- The HDCA has been working on various  projects in 2019, and has many volunteer opportunities available. Community members can get involved in events, fundraising, marketing, design, and so much more. Approximately 4-6  hours per week is needed for a specific project (not all year round).

• Coordinate the annual décor for downtown (flower baskets, corn stalks, etc.)

3. Merchant Socials/Annual Dinner

4. Volunteer Recruitment
