Volunteer Update

This past week I was finally able to give my presentation to the class. It seems as though we are now at a consensus that I can determine shift lengths based on staff availability and the amount of required volunteers, so I will try to make sure the volunteer schedule is not too demanding of them, and allow them to utilize their time, while also giving everyone the chance to attend their desired film or conference block. Also, I had prepared a form letter to send out to potential volunteers. However, there were concerns in class that it was too long and could be more brief. After Jake looked it over and made it more concise, there were still comments about it being too long, so I will look it over again and try to actually put bullet points in the letter so that the paragraphs are broken up. I will send out the initial letter before we go home for break so that people will get an introduction to what volunteering means and how they can benefit. Once I get in touch with ace, I will then go about getting specific volunteers assigned to certain jobs. I am working on a group project with Danielle DeVeaux and so I have been in direct contact with her about the impending necessity for volunteers. If anyone would like to get started on drawing up specifics of what they will need their volunteers to do, that would be great. We still have time, but it'd be nice to get a little ahead. Thanks!
