Volunteers Still Needed!

Update: 7/13/2008 - We're stopping volunteer signups for this year, so we have a few days to process everyone who has signed up. If you still want to volunteer, it may be possible to do so as a "walk-up" during the festival itself; feel free to check out that option by visiting the Volunteer tent after 5:00 pm on Thursday.


... but time is running short (it takes a couple of days to process each worker and get them scheduled), so sign up now! We still need lots and lots of people for lots and lots of different jobs. What's your story? I bet we can find a great volunteer gig to match it!

One new volunteer scenario we have going this year is the "Lunch Angel" position. For an explanation, we'll turn to our beautiful redheaded hospitality coordinator and maternal advice-giver extraordinaire, Katy:



Be an angel.

Help us keep the GrassRoots Festival set-up and building crew happy and full. Make a nutritious and filling lunch or dinner for 30 people and get two 4-day festival passes in return. We provide the paper, plastic, and clean up. You deliver and set-up. Contact us for dates and times needed (all take place on the days BEFORE the festival starts). DO NOT just show up with food.

Katy
Hospitality Coordinator


This is a great way to earn your tickets, especially if you're a local and a good cook. If you're interested, email me at promo@grassrootsfest.org (give me your phone number, too), and I'll put you in touch with her.

And if you're interested in doing your part during the festival, in exchange for a ticket, holler at us here.

See you all soooooooon!

Volunteers Office Up and Running!

Well, we've got two new volunteer coordinators this year, both of whom have worked a lot with the GrassRoots organization in the past. Ms. Keli Carlson (our Cabaret Hall crew chief) and Ms. Michelle Wright (the volunteer coordinator for Shakori Hills) are heading up that massive project. GrassRoots has well over 1,000 volunteers these days, and we're always in need of more. Get in touch with them either through the volunteer page of the GrassRoots website or by calling the brand spankin' new volunteer phone number: 607-387-4388 (it's best to go through the website first).
