TwainFest is this Saturday!

Hello TwainFest volunteers! I am so excited to see you all at TwainFest this Saturday.

Please review your volunteer position descriptions and What Do I Need... pages on this blog.

ALSO, please take a look at the Parking page. As a reminder, volunteers are NOT allowed to park in the lot between the Fiesta de Reyes restaurant and the Cosmopolitan Hotel unless they have a disabled placard. All other volunteers can find parking off the street, in a different lot, or in the Cal Trans parking lot (which is especially helpful for volunteers arriving for the afternoon shift).

All volunteers are go to the Volunteer Check-in table at the start of their shift. There you can sign in, pick up your shirt, and confirm your volunteer assignment. If you are under 18, please be sure to bring your signed waiver (please email me if you have not received a copy)

Please don't hesitate to call or email with any questions. Thanks so much again and can't wait to see you all this weekend!

2016 TwainFest Orientations and Invite-a-Friend Campaign

Hello 2016 TwainFest volunteers! We are so thrilled to have you joining us for another great year.

If you're a new volunteer (or a returning volunteer who needs a refresher on the event) we're having 4 volunteer orientations this year. All volunteer orientations start at 10 AM at Old Town Historic Park, located at 4002 Wallace St, San Diego, CA 92110

Saturday, July 30
Sunday, July 31
Saturday, August 13
Sunday, August 14

We meet at the flag pole, located in the middle of the grassy lawn area at the north end of the park. The orientations are approximately one hour and we go over the various positions and locations of activities throughout TwainFest. While the orientations are not required for new volunteers, they are highly recommended.


We are also happy to announce our 2016 Invite-a-Friend campaign! As those of you who volunteered in previous years know, volunteers receive two free tickets to a future Write Out Loud performance as part of their "thank-you" bag for volunteering at TwainFest.

This year, to increase volunteer participation, we're asking you to Invite-a-Friend to volunteer at TwainFest! Just share the registration link with a friend and, when they sign up, I'll ask them "How did you hear about TwainFest?" When they give me your name, you'll get two extra tickets to a Write Out Loud performance! Invite enough friends and you'll basically be a season ticket holder to Write Out Loud.

Here is the link you can share with friends: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/85SR5JC
You can also direct them to our page on the Write Out Loud website here: http://writeoutloudsd.com/schedule/twainfest/volunteers/
Lastly, there's a great video about TwainFest, which show both guests and volunteers here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMWfMHH5UeU

Thank you so much volunteers! We're excited for another amazing year and I'm incredibly thankful to have all of you joining us this year.
