Musical Echoes needs volunteers to be successful. I appreciate any time you can contribute. I've divided the days into 3-4 hour time blocks starting at 8am and ending at 9pm on Friday and Saturday and ending at 5pm on Sunday. Please let me know the days and hours you can work and the area you would like to help in.

I hope to have volunteers organized around our needs this year. This year we will report to the center tent where the arts competition is held and sign in so that the staff knows we are there and how to reach us (cell phone, etc). I will set up a few chairs so we can sit in the tent and be available.

Basically the tasks are helping to set up on Friday from 8am to noon, then help with whatever needs to be done during the Musical Echoes events on Friday afternoon, Saturday, and Sunday plus helping to take things down on Sunday afternoon at about 3pm for a couple hours.

Setup and tear down does not include the main tents on stage, for workshops, or the center tent as they will be set up and taken down by the tent people.

Help is needed at the center tent with the items for the silent auction, arts and flutes competition, t-shirt sales, etc.  Help may be needed for any workshops that may be scheduled.  We may need to help manage the parking and may clean up portions of the park missed by the city staff. The volunteer's job is to be available near the center tent in case some help is needed.

There is probably nothing heavy to lift but just to be available for whatever comes up. Another main effort is to help the Musical Echoes staff take down a few small pop-up tents and move some chairs and tables to the main tent on Sunday at closing for a couple hours.

I have a spreadsheet of time blocks to match volunteers to them so I'll know who is working when and what they will be supporting.

The plan is to start at 8am each day (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) and divide the day into 3 or 4 hour time blocks: 8-12, 12-3pm, 3pm-6pm, 6pm-9pm. Please let me know which time blocks and days you'd like to help with. Feel free to volunteer for one or more time slots and one or more days.

I appreciate an time you can afford to give and I appreciate your willingness to consider helping.

Thanks very much,
