Description of Volunteer Positions
|
|
The Volunteers that help at Innovations each year
are the BEST people! They give freely of their time to help make
Innovations a success. We thank each and every one of you who have
helped in the past and who will help to make this year's event
great.
This year, for every two (2) hours you work as a volunteer, your
name will go into a daily drawing for prizes which have been donated
specifically for Innovations Volunteers. Not only do you get to see
great quilts up close and meet wonderful people, you may win prizes
also!
Listed below is a description of the volunteer positions available
at Innovations. We hope you will volunteer for one (or more) of
these positions.

|
| Receive
Quilts |
Volunteers will open the boxes of
quilts that are shipped to the Innovations Quilt Show. They also
inspect the quilts and keep the paperwork in order. This is a great
way to view the quilts "up close" before the quilt show is open.
|
| Quilt
Photography |
Volunteers will help hang quilts for
the professional photography of the the quilts in the Innovations
Quilt Show. They are under the direction of the photographer.
There are many different jobs during the quilt photography. This is
a great way to see the quilts before the quilt show opens to the
public.
|
| Tote Bag
Stuffers |
The first 500 attendees of
Innovations receive a printed tote bag which is "stuffed" with all
sorts of goodies from vendors and other businesses. We need
volunteers to "stuff" the bags with all the goodies.
|
| Quilt Show
Set Up |
There are many different jobs in
setting up the Innovations quilt show. The quilts need to be
organized, hung, have identification tags attached, etc. A great way
to view the quilts up close before the public and work with other
wonderful people!
|
|
Registration Desk |
The Registration Desk is the hub of
the event. Volunteers help pass out Registration Packets, answer
attendee questions, and assist the Event Registrar in routine office
procedures.
|
| Quilt Show
Entry Table |
When the Innovations Quilt Show is
open to the public there needs to be volunteers at the Entry Table
to answer questions and take entry fees. The Entry Table is where
the Shopper's Advantage sign up and drawings will be held.
|
| Put me where
you need me |
If you have some time to volunteer,
but your not sure what you want to do, we will put you where we need
you! There are times where we need extra volunteers or another
volunteer needs more help in their position. We NEED volunteers who
are flexible and can help in any capacity.
|
| White Glove
Volunteers |
“White Glove
Volunteers” are the people who are on “patrol” in the Quilt Show,
where they answer questions from the public and direct traffic.
Since the White Glove Volunteers will have gloves on (sorry, our
gloves are plastic) they can turn the corners back on the quilts to
show the public what the backs of the quilts look like. They also
watch the quilts to make sure no one is touching, moving or damaging
them. As a White Glove Volunteer you get to meet interesting people
and view the quilts up close and personal. If you have a few hours,
please consider volunteering for this special position. It’s a lot
of fun and a great way to share your love of machine quilting.

| Quilt Show
Take Down |
There are many jobs during the Quilt
Show Take Down. The quilts need to be removed from the hanging
poles, organized and get ready for the Quilt Pick Up.
|
| Packing Quilts
for Shipping |
Many quilts are sent to the
Innovations Quilt Show and are shipped back to their owners. On
Sunday morning we will be putting these quilts into boxes and
getting them ready to be shipped. If you have some time before
leaving, please come and help. This is a great time to look at the
quilts one last time and talk about the great experiences you had
during Innovations 2008!
