Spring 2018 Auction Volunteer Signup Sheet

Hello Everyone,

Below is the link to sign-up to volunteer to help out at this years Spring Auction:

http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c054ba5a72aa3f58-2018

Please volunteer to help out at the auction. Without our club members volunteering to help out we would not have an auction. Luckily, that has yet to happen. Besides, it's a great way to get involved with the club and get to know each other. Please notice that the positions have been split up into hourly time periods. While you'll see many of us volunteer for the entire day, you don't have to. You can volunteer for a few hours or you can switch positions if you would like to try something different. In most cases, there are multiple positions available for each time slot. Any positions highlighted in green below require prior approval before you can sign up. Just PM me if you are interested.

I'm in for a few slots. As a reminder to all who will be attending the auction - the event doesn't happen without the ACTIVE support of many individuals. Everyone who is there is capable of volunteering in some capacity. Sure, some jobs require certain knowledge or skills, but don't underestimate your talent. Get involved. You will find it can be a lot of fun too.
