The Langley Good Times Cruise-In is in a spot most community groups would envy - it has a corps of volunteers who return year after year to help at this massive charity event.

Board member Lori Watts said there are about 140 volunteers needed to put on Cruise-In.

"Most have been doing it from the beginning," she said.

There is very low turnover in the volunteer numbers and Watts has a theory about why people step up year after year.

"We probably add or lose around six people each year," she noted. "I think that most of it is because it's for charity."
