Draft 1 of Volunteer Schedule - Holes & Chasms

May 4, 2012

I`m glad I got an early start on the schedule this year, `coz we have some holes to fill.  We have lots of challenges this year, needing more volunteers than ever in the evening at Main Stage, needing volunteers with Smart-Serve, and offering more services to the public in addition to the Street Merch tent and free Bicycle Parking.

So here is my first attempt at the Volunteer Schedule, based on interests & availability you gave me at the Orientation Meeting and thus far on-line - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0ApBD8li5O4KEdFFmamgwajBuUWxwb2syNVhqM1o3MEE&output=html.  At the top of the page, click on either

• Schedule by Date to see the following 3 scheduled by date:
1. Main Stage in Green,
2. Street Merch in Blue, 
3. Street Marshals in Grey; or
• Schedule by Name for an listing of shifts sorted by first name.

Here's the holes & chasms that I'm still looking to fill:

• Sat & Sun night Bicycle Parking. I may split the shift into 4 hrs each so folks can work 1/2 the night at the Main Stage
• More people with Smart-Serve for Sat & Sun nights
• More people for Sunday morning
• More people for Sunday night

So please review the Draft Schedule, then:

1. Send me an e-mail to confirm your shifts, and whether there are any empty spaces that you would like to fill.
2. Contact me anytime between now and the festival for any changes, or any new people you've recruited for the festival weekend.
3. We will have NO Pre-festival Volunteer Registration this year.  Instead, t-shirts & tags will be available at the Street Merch & Volunteer Tents for when you Sign-In for your first shift of the weekend.
4. Reminder:
• For a Main Stage shift, Sign-In is at the Main Stage Volunteer Tent; audience entrance will be between the LCBO and the Superstore, Volunteer Tent will be at the back of the audience area.
• For a Street Merch or Street Marshall shift, Sign-In is at the Street Merch Tent which will be at McRae and Richmond in front of the LCBO.
• I have made a Google Map below with locations that the Volunteers need to be familiar with.
