[Moo] Volunteers Needed for Tournoi des Enfants

[Shalandara at aol.com]

My thanks to Allen, Barbara, Laurie, Nichelle, and Jean for helping with  
site tokens last night.
 
Do not fear, there are still ways for you to help with the event!  I  have 
several areas that need volunteers to start signing up.
 
Friday the 4th: We will need people to help put up tents.  The more we  get 
up on Friday night the less set up time that is needed on saturday  morning!  I 
hear a rumor that Laurie will be bribing any workers with  food.  Also, we 
will most likely be filling the truck (thanks Brian!) with  items to go to the 
site.
 
Many of these jobs are only for 2 hour shifts!  You can always sign up  for 
more than one!
 
Onto specific job areas on the event day:
 
Troll: will need workers.  Lady Anne will be coordinating   volunteers soon.
 
Parking Attendants:  2 or 3 people per 2 hour shift, beginning at 8am  and 
going until Noon.  You will be directing cars in the parking lot and  making 
sure that they are not damaging the owner's property.  Also, after  10am there 
will be no vehicles past Troll (safety issues for children) unless it  is 
escorted by someone.
 
Children's Activity Tent: This is the major need for volunteers.  This  is 
where there will be crafts and such for children (and would look like most to  
be traditional SCA Children's Corner).  In order to not burden any 1 or 2  
individuals I would like to see 2 (at least) people per 2 hour shift, beginning  
at 10AM and going until 4PM.  That translates into a minimum of 6  people.
 
Active Play Area: This will be an area roped off by list fences and will be  
a safe area for active play.  Games such as bocce and croquet will be  there.  
I would like there to be some people to step forward and coordinate  some 
active games.  A 1 or 2 hour shift is all I am asking here, as well as  the 
ability to be flexible depending upon what children are there.
 
Toddler/Infant Tent: This will be an area for smaller children, with  
suitable toys.  There will also be a changing table area, as well as space  for 
Nursing mothers.  I need one person to check in periodically to make  sure that 
this tent is neat, and to make sure that the trash is taken care  of.  **** 
Someone has already volunteerd for this **** Thank you !!!  ****
 
Trash Detail:  1 person, or 2 people with split morning/afternoon  shifts, to 
monitor trash cans and bag trash and collect it in one spot for  removal.  
This is an ongoing job all day long and can be done in addition  to other jobs.
 
Kitchen Help: Ysar will need a few people to help cut and prepare some of  
the food that day, as well as help with the setup and takedown of the kitchen  
area.
 
Servers: A few people will be needed to help serve food for lunch.   Details 
on exact numbers needed will be forthcoming.  This would be from  11am to 2ish.
 
"Bounders": We will have signs marking the end of the area that we have the  
use of, but there will be people needed to help patrol and keep kids from  
certain areas (like the way leading to the pond).
 
Waterbearers:  There is no waterbearer in charge.  We have  supplies, but no 
volunteer to coordinate this yet.  It is currently under  the supervision of 
the Chiurgeon in Charge (Lady Miriam), but volunteers to  actually get water to 
the people are needed all day long, especially if this is  a warm day.
 
Takedown:  We will need as many hands as possible to do takedown and  cleanup 
of the site on Saturday.  While we have the ability to be onsite on  Sunday I 
would prefer as much work as possible get down on Saturday.
 
Please get in touch with me (off list) and tell me how you want to help  out!
