Volunteer Opportunity at Buffalo ReUse
It's crunchtime for the Open House on Saturday, April 25th from noon-4pm and so we're scrambling around getting stuff ready and if you have time this week, there's plenty of tasks at the store from painting the new entry way to schlepping and relocating inventory so we have some room for info tables and food and a space to play games etc.
But the DAY OF of the Open House we need folks as well to be:
* Facilitate the kids' games (water balloons, recycling toss, coloring table, bubble tunnel, sidewalk chalk drawings) We have 2 teen volunteers so far, but we could use a couple more to assist--I'll explain the games more thoroughly
* Setting up food table (area) and working the hot dog grill (making the lemonade etc) making sure there's spoons etc
* If you would like to bring a potluck side salad--like potato, bean, pea, corn, macaroni or condiments or cookies--that's very appreciated and please let me know.
* Helping the guest organizations set up their tables (just directing them to the table and locating chairs is fine)
* Greeting folks as they come in the store and asking if they'd like to sign up for our newsletter
* Some tour guides who can walk folks through the store and brag about all the improvements since last May
* Someone to man the Seedling Swap table
* We haven't had luck getting a free band/performer yet--so we might be making music with veggies but we're waiting on a reply from Blood Thirsty Vegans to see if they might perform for part of the time.
If you're available for setting up--we'll probably start getting tables ready early in the morning (then I have to run to the Power Vista and do my presentation) and I will be back by 11:30 to finish whatever isn't done.
Any help is wonderful, if there's something else you can assist with that isn't listed--I'm all ears!
