Sorry to put that in all caps, but I had sent out previous requests for volunteers and many people said that they never saw or noticed them. So hopefully this one is noticed. I only got 2 volunteers from my previous requests so I'm making the plea again. I see volunteers as the oil in the engine of VCF East. They make the whole show run smoothly and are vital to making things go well. I'm just one person who runs the show, but can't do it without adequate volunteering. If I don't get enough volunteers, then the show has a lot of bumps in the road and the existing volunteers get overwhelmed and there are more unhappy people than necessary. If you would like to volunteer, then please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd0yru702BssSMu8o_B9OemqYGe20HmXvpv... Having said that, I need help in many areas: CONSIGNMENT A/V FRONT DESK SETUP BEFORE THE SHOW BREAK DOWN AFTER THE SHOW To have some idea of what is needed day by day: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6 (SETUP!) - Moving tables, chairs - Moving the bunkbeds to the back of the women's bunk room - Clearing the hotel dining room and the 9032-A exhibit space - Setting up tables - Other tasks that I'm forgetting and have on my to-do list.
