THA Oktoberfest volunteer recruitment: Friday, October 23

[David Young]

Hello, All:

Response to the initial email recruitment of volunteers to work at Oktoberfest was anemic at best. A handful of the "usual suspects" responded, the same people who respond to all calls for help. They are appreciated, but they are not nearly enough to do the job. Now it's time for the rest of you to step up and help THA put on a fun and inclusive event, where nobody has to work too hard or too long and everyone has time to enjoy themselves. Serious setup work begins at 4 PM on Friday the 23rd. We will be serving food from 5 to 9 PM. Cleanup happens from 9 until 10 PM (or however much beyond that it takes to finish). For simplicity sake, we are asking members to volunteer for one of two shifts - from 4 to 7 PM, and from 7 to 10 PM. There will be a variety of tasks available, including ticket sales (both event and raffle tickets), dishing up and serving food, bussing tables, and cleanup afterward (including limited potwashing and kitchen wipedown). So, please respond to this email with your commitment to volunteer to work the early (4-7) or late (7-10) shift. Please include name and phone number, and email address would also be appreciated. If email is a problem for you, please respond to (707) 839-0591. Thanks in advance. Many hands make light work.
