Volunteer Job Descriptions

SETUP: Setting up for event, including distributing tables and chairs, setting up Exhibit Tables, posting signs, moving boxes of materials for sale and setting up BFK sales booth, whatever is needed to get the ready for the “Bash”. Critical job! Requires about 15 volunteers to work from 7:00 A.M until 10:00 a.m . Good job for early birds in good shape.

ADMISSION/PARKING:  We need individuals to greet guests, verify registration and handle on site donations, and distribute wristbands.  Requires at least 4 volunteers per hour from 9:30 to 2:30.  We also need assistance monitoring the parking lot and traffic.  Requires 2 volunteers per hour from 9:30 to 1:00. 

ACTIVITY AIDES: GATE/  Assist with handing out programs, selling raffle tickets, registering contest participants. Requires 4 volunteers per hour from 10:00 to 12:00

HOSPITALITY AIDES: If lunch is served, assistance will be needed to set up, keep food and drink organized and food area clear. Requires 2 to 4 volunteers from 11:00 to 1:00.

FOOD SALES: We hope to have popcorn, snow cones, etc. for sale and will need assistance with sales. Requires at least 4 volunteers per hour from 10:00 to 2:30.

SALES: Those who like to sell have lots of opportunities in the Bichon FurKid sales booth. We’ll also be selling raffle tickets and possibly food tickets. Requires 4 volunteers per hour from 10:00 to 2:00.

RUNNERS: This is a vital position.  The “runners” pinch hit when and wherever there is a need – substituting for other volunteers during breaks, filling in when no volunteer is available, and assisting the event committee with various special needs. Flexibility is key. Requires 2 volunteers per hour from 10:00 to 2:00.

CLEANUP: This involves dismantling and collecting tables, chairs, cleaning up the grounds and putting away equipment, supplies, etc.  After a long day, it’s very hard to muster the effort to help clean up from the day’s event. The more help we have, the easier the job is for everyone! If you can stay after 3:00 p.m or if you are signing up for an afternoon shift, please consider staying to help.

PHOTOGRAPHY:  It would be really great to have a photographic record of this year’s event.  All are encouraged to  submit their photos for viewing on our website.  Last year's photo record was outstanding.
