Volunteers Needed for the Festival of Nations!

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.
