2021 Holiday Luncheon – All Volunteer positions are Filled!
Updated 10/25/21
Thanks to our Guild members, we now have all the volunteers needed for the 2021 Holiday Luncheon!
Our team has gone through some changes in the two years since we all volunteered! And, as always, a successful Luncheon relies on many day-of-event workers as well.
Advance and day-of volunteers are welcome to sit at the “head table” or join their friends at other tables. All workers must register, meet COVID-19 protocols, and pay to attend the event the same as other attendees.
Can you help? We have filled some positions, but here’s what we still need . . . now and on Monday, Dec. 6.
ADVANCE TEAM
Fashion Show Coordinator:
- Prior to event, receive by mail the registration forms for Fashion Show items. Receive and store one large storage tub of show materials. Notify members when forms are received and either accepted or placed on waiting list. Organize show items into sub-groups for the “walk” process and create/share printed lists of who walks when. Copy all registration forms to event emcee for commentary.
Linda Hart - Day of event, arrive at venue by 9:30 a.m. with storage tub of show materials. Lay out “lollipops” (numbered wands for models to carry) in Fashion Show dressing room, check in items as they arrive, and be available for model/member questions. As sub-groups are called by event emcee, check-in and organize models so that Fashion Show walk proceeds smoothly. You will be on your feet for day-of duties.
