We did come and enjoy the music, food, people and the festival this weekend. It was awesome! The music was great, food was incredible and we left with a fistful of information and a gratifying feeling about being part of something good.
Volunteer Orientation 2009
Volunteers are the best! Last night they gathered for the Volunteer Orientation, about 75 lovely people, with Jen Cizman, Volunteer Manager, and the rest of the Organic Islands Team to find out about festival plans, and tour the gardens. This dedicated group has already been helping out in the office, at the farmers’ markets, and with postering. We’ve had the pleasure of working with Heather Fisher (Children’s Village Coordinator), Neil Comer, Dusty, Beatrice, Amber Peterson, Megan Cohoe, Dianne, and April.
This year we need over 150 volunteers to assist with everything from implementing the festival’s Green Commitment (near zero waste, solar energy, etc), to set-up, take-down, traffic flow, front gate, info booth, headquarters, strike team and the Children’s Village etc. We have an additional parking lot we need volunteers to assist with — last year we ran out so we’re preparing in advance. Volunteers will be part of an upbeat, proactive team leading the way in creating sustainable change. For more information, and list of perks visit the Volunteering info page.
