If you are interested in volunteering please contact Shale as soon as possible at: semappd@gmail.com . We appreciate  your personal time donation…as every little bit helps to make this event better each year...

Planning on volunteering...here is a list of information and duties you should familiarize yourself with:
(FYI… If you can only volunteer for specific times let Shale know…)

Set up & Break down

• As cars drive up…ask people if they would like help putting up/taking down their tents or help with lugging their
• stuff from/to their cars
• We will need someone to direct the vendors to their sites and out of their site

Vendor Assistance & Workshop Helpers

• We need to make sure ½ hr a head of time your designated workshop person knows which area they are in and
• where they are going.

(BEFORE YOU ASK.. check with Shale first and I will make sure we have the staff for this)

• Ask if workshop guest speaker would like coverage for their tent?
• About 5-10 mins before your workshop person has their event…meet them at their tent (if they requested coverage bring the that person with you so they can be introduced and get further instructions)
• Help your workshop person with any needs they may have (answering questions, carrying things or directions etc..)
•  If previous workshop is not over please wait patiently for a few minutes (if workshop persists please come get
• one of the contact people above and we will politely interrupt)
• Make sure your designated workshop guest speaker get time and coverage to get their meals

General Help/ Welcome Tent Assistance

• Picnic tables may need to be moved
• Welcome tent will need to be set up/broken down and manned (giving directions and selling raffle tickets)
• Also at Welcome tent...We will need someone to check in donated food goods
• Kids table/tent needs to be set up/broken down
• We will need someone to collect raffle donations from the vendors and set up the raffle table
• Please walk around and direct people to the workshop areas or the bathrooms as needed
• Check on Trash barrels to make sure they aren’t getting to full (if they are let one of the contacts above know)
• Check on the bathrooms to make sure there is toilet paper and are manage-ably clean (again let the contacts know if something is needed)

BE POLITE, BE VISIBLE AND BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS...

Note: if you want to go to a specific workshop please let me know so we can make sure we have coverage at that time
and I am not assigning you something to do… VOLUNTEERING SHOULD ALSO BE FUN!!!

Thank you for your help at this year’s SEMAPPD without your support this event would not be possible!
