I switched up my schedule for that weekend so I am going to volunteer.

I will help out Ray with shirt distribution and most likely stick around to help clean up too.

We'll see what's up come Wednesday. A total attendee head count and confirmation of how and when the tiered meal times will go down is all I really need on my end.


And unless there's any objections, I wouldn't mind taking lead on cleanup crew. It's something I'd be doing anyway.

At that it's one of those things we all should be doing, imo attendees too if possible, but it also isn't that spontaneous usually. Even if we have people signed up, we'll probably go around recruiting folks to do some sweeps, or just little things like moving garbage bags and folding tables down.

Doesn't have to be arduous or yucky if you do a little bit, and everyone pitches in. All adds up.

Grill bump. Met a guy interested on Sunday, but even with him we'd need 3 more. More people mean less work for us all

Dude you have volunteered long enough that im sure you could get ray to sell you a blue shirt... if you arent a team captain, just dont wear it event day...
Chris, standby on this. Lookin' like you may rock the blue shirt. I know you earned a red one last year. Plus, I saw the kudos you & the others got from Brian & Pete for helping them out a couple wknds ago.

For now, I've already moved you into the Clean-up crew. Those slots are more for peeps to help set up extra garbage & recycling collection stations as well as to clean up throughout the event. For post-event, the org crew & any other helpful hands do a final sweep.

While you & I could likely manage the clean-up crew, we do have a MAJOR task of managing to cook & serve a BBQ lunch for nearly 400 people in less than 2 hours.

As I mentioned above, team leaders are the designated hitters who bat clean-up for the clean-up crew. (Insert your choice of Inception or Xhibit joke here.)

And yeah, we also typically have peeps that help out on-the-spot to break down or move tables & EZ-ups.

Sounds good, thank you Cliff! Just let me know what you need/want and I will get it covered! Ray is looking for those prepay shirt orders STAT, so I will hold off until either I hear back or later this evening.

Basically, attendees tell you if they pre-paid or not. You will verify prepaid attendees from the list or will collect payment from non-prepaid attendees. Then, you'll give them their wristband to put on ASAP, informing them that it is what let's security know they're allowed at our event as well as what let's the lunch service crew & security know they're OK to be in the chow line, too. Prepays will also receive a single $2 raffle ticket. To be considered for this position, you will have to be vetted or vouched for by someone on the organizing committee. Please report in by 10:15am. We expect we’ll need your assistance until about 12:30.

GRILL COOKS

Since we're BBQing, we're going to need quite a several people to man the grills. Each person will cook for a MAXIMUM of 1.5 hour at a time. In the past, people have worked the grill for a good 3 hours or more! We don’t want to overwork anyone. Your assistance is GREATLY appreciated! We really need you guys, so thanks again in advance! More info pending…

Please note that the veggie option must be cooked on a separate grill using separate grilling tools! Thank you.

FOOD & BEV SERVICE

This crew will simply be working the chow line a la school lunch lady style. All attendees who enter the food service line MUST be wearing an event wristband. A security volunteer or I will be marking wristbands as an attendee comes through. More info pending…

CLEAN-UP

Looking for people that are willing to lend a hand with keeping the park clean during the event as well as staying a little after to make sure it is tidy. We are all adults and can put trash in the proper place, so it should not be that big of an issue. I know it's not the most desirable job, but someone has to take care of it and many hands make light work. More info pending…

SECURITY

You’ll be tasked to ensure safety & order. Should things get dicey – i.e. people cannot behave themselves or they cannot get along with others, you’ll step in to neutralize the situation. Please report in at 10:15. You'll be expected to "work" the entire event, but please be sure to enjoy yourselves the whole time as well.
