Volunteer Position Details
Set Up
Saturday, Feb. 20th, 11am-3pm: Set up requires getting the fieldhouse cleared out and setting up tables, putting up posters on the walls, setting up the catering area, and setting up the different activity areas. Set up is very important because we need to get everything done and in perfect condition before the actual event starts! The more volunteers during this time the better because things will get done much quicker.
Break Down (Clean Up)
Sunday, Feb. 21st, noon-2pm: Break down is much like set up. For this time slot, we recommened that we have a majorty of male volunteers because we will need help breaking down tables, stages, curtain rods, etc. The fieldhouse must be spotless before we leave so volunteers will help clean up all trash, make sure everything that was originally in the fieldhouse is put back to where it belongs, everything that needs to be loaded into trucks for pick up is loaded, etc. Once again, the more volunteers during this time the faster everything will get done.
Event Maintenance
Saturday, Feb. 20th and Sunday, Feb. 21st, 5pm-noon: Event maintenance is basically what it sounds like. When the event begins, we will need volunteers helping at sign-in, giving out shirts, guarding the enterance so that no one goes out and no one comes in without checking in, guarding the bathrooms and checking every once in a while that no one is sitting inside, standing at the catering area to make sure that no one is standing and make sure that ALL food and drinks stay inside the curtained area, watching the different blow-up acitivites to make sure that everyone is being safe. In the end, event maintenance volunteers are the ones that help the night run smoothly.
