We have many event night positions but please note that we need volunteers to join our committee and mentor through in many areas; this program’s mission is to keep our kids safe on grad night by providing a safe environment for them to celebrate in. This has been a successful program for 25 years and can only continue past the next year by having dedicated volunteers to keep it going. Please read on and contact Rita at [email protected] for more conversation about these positions.
This is the last year for our Food/Beverage team-if you or you and another person are interested in taking on this position then you have the perfect opportunity to see it in action now. As well as the position specific items involved with Food/Beverage; you would attend an hour meeting once a month.
Our Equipment Manager came back for this year but will not be returning next year. This is the opportunity to mentor through the management of moving our equipment and supplies, possible small construction of props etc. This is a physical position and someone with access to trucks and trailers would be helpful. As well as position specific items involved with Equipment Manager; you would attend an hour meeting once a month.
Next year will be the last year for our Treasurer and for myself, the President’s position (or co-presidents!). We need someone to mentor through the next year for both positions. In my case, the president, I would stay another year past next year and step down to Vice President so that I would be available for help.
It is also extremely valuable to have people on the committee who are available to take on as needed tasks that come up throughout the year. We meet for one hour each month.
These positions are ideal for parents of Junior High students or Freshmen/Sophomores. Please contact me at [email protected]. I believe in what this program does and am happy to help the next group of amazing volunteers take it over.
Thanks, Rita
