For GAFE 2009 to be successful, it will be mandatory for all registrants to volunteer. We have many things that
can be done before the event, during the event and even a couple of things after the event. We have always tried to
make it work without making volunteering mandatory. However, as we grow, so does the list of job duties. In
order to keep our registration costs as low as possible, we do almost everything on our own. Asking each family to
volunteer an hour or two is the only way we can continue without hiring help.
We still need the
coordinators for the following functions:
- Meet & Greet: Coordinate activities
and arrangements for attendees to meet and socialize on the opening night.
If you are able to be a coordinator
and work with the GAFE board and other coordinators in planning 2009, please send email to GAFE President Lisa Pesola, at
nickiwoo@aol.com.
If you own a business and have access to a copy machine or some other service that could help us
to keep costs down, please send e-mail to
volunteers@gafe-network.org.
