[BOTMC_announcements] BOTMC still seeking volunteers

[Berkeley Old-Time Music Convention]

Hi all, 

We could still use help on Saturday and Sunday of the
festival!  Please read "the fine print" below and let
me know if you can help us out.

Thanks, 
Amy

*****

The fine print: 

New this year -- volunteer orientation!  We'll get
together on Sunday Sept 9 from 11-1 for a quick
meeting about what the heck we're doing, followed by
tunes.   Refreshments will be served!  Fun will be
had!  All are encouraged to attend, including
returning volunteers, but you don't have to come in
order to volunteer.  

How the work-trade works: if you volunteer for one of
the paid events, that is your comp.  If you volunteer
for a free event, we'll comp you into either of the
concerts at the Freight, or the dance at Ashkenaz on
Saturday night.  We can't give you a comp to a
workshop.

To volunteer, please send an email to me, Amy, at
hoferamy at yahoo.com.  It should contain your name,
email, phone number, first choice of job, any other
jobs you'd be willing to do if that one's taken, which
night you'd like your comp for, and whether you'll be
at the orientation.  Please include all of this
information!

VOLUNTEER POSITIONS AVAILABLE:

At the String Band Contest, Saturday daytime: We need
people to help set up the event starting at 8:15 AM
(!) and people to help with teardown when it's all
over (3 or 4-ish). You don't have to bring your own
tools for this, but it is physical work.  We need
someone with a pickup to make a run to the Ecology
Center with folding chairs before and after the event.
 
During the contest, we also need band wranglers, who
preferably know most musicians by sight but won't be
performing themselves.  We need helpers at the
instrument check -- this involves lifting.  Finally,
we need help taking signups for the cabaret the
following day.

At the Jazz School, Sunday daytime: We need someone
to help "man the desk," keep everything running
smoothly, and make sure we leave the space tidy after
the workshops.  You should be taking one workshop (or
none).

At Jupiter, Sunday afternoon: We need people to take
shifts watching the instrument case check.
