Volunteer Orientations and Scheduling for TwainFest 2015

Hello TwainFest volunteers! We're so excited for another amazing year.

Our Volunteer Orientations have been scheduled with 2 in July and 2 in August. Please see the Volunteer Orientations page on the right-hand side of the blog.

I will also begin assigning volunteer positions. Please look out for an email from me in the next two weeks with your assignment. You can view the various pages on this blog for a description of your position and other helpful resources to have a successful volunteer shift at TwainFest.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Also, we're still actively recruiting volunteers so please invite your friends!

Thanks so much

Updated Volunteer Positions and Orientation Dates!

Hello TwainFest team! I know that many of you have been checking out the new blog and I hope you're finding it helpful. We've added and updated a few new pages including the venue manager positions, event support positions, and a "what do I need to bring?" page. Please review all pages when you have a chance.

We've also decided to have TWO volunteer orientations at Old Town Park!
Saturday, August 2 at 10AM- 11AM
Saturday, August 9 at 1PM-2PM
We will meet in front of the Courthouse to begin our tour of the park. We will visit the different sites where activities will be taking place, answer questions about the event, and answer any questions you may have about TwainFest. Please send me a quick email if you are able to attend one of these Orientations.

Thank you very much everyone! Looking forward to getting the schedule out (hopefully next weekend) and seeing you all at TwainFest!

Welcome to the 2014 TwainFest Volunteer Info Page!

Hello TwainFest volunteers! It's less than a month away and I am beyond excited to work with each of you at the Fifth Annual TwainFest.

As I know it's difficult to meet each of you on-site at Old Town Park before the event to go over the layout, different positions, and general FAQs, I've created this site to hopefully provide you with the tools necessary to succeed in your volunteer position. I am creating different tabs on parking, event layout, and volunteer positions descriptions. As they get posted, please read each carefully to get a good grasp on the event.

Lastly, I do still want to have at least one volunteer get-together at the Park before the 16th to meet some of you and answer questions in person. It till either be August 2 or 9 and I will let all of you know as soon as I have that set in stone.

Thank you and I look forward to working with such a dynamic team!
