We will be having a sales booth as in previous years and will have a special origami instruction area this year too. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and we appreciate all of your help. We are looking for volunteers for the following jobs and times:
Volunteer Descriptions
Inventory Delivery
Coordinate a truck and driver to pick up inventory from a garage in Minneapolis and deliver it to the booth at the
Festival. Setup the cords and lights on the booth.
Booth Setup
Unpack and setup the booth displays.
Sales People
Add up purchased items, take cash and make change without a cash register, and restock display tables. Items for
sale include decorations, toys, crafts, kitchen items, and other trinkets.
Instructors
Teach kids and adults how to make a simple origami dog or cat, or a medium frog or crane. Instructions and materials for these projects will be provided. This is a great opportunity for younger members to learn teaching and communication skills.
Booth Takedown
Pack up remaining inventory. Coordinate a truck and driver to bring inventory back to the garage.
