From YouTube: CREST Awards 2017: Hidden Treasures Volunteer Committee
Description
More than 50 volunteers come together each year and put in more than 1,000 hours combined annually to ensure that the Hidden Treasures sale is a success. In its first year, approximately 10 volunteers helped raise about $1,800. Now, the volunteer committee has grown to about 60 volunteers and raises more than $10,000. All proceeds benefit the Cupertino Senior Center’s “Stay Active Fund.”
