Lotus Bazaar Volunteer Call-Out 2017: It's time to sign up for the Lotus Blossoms World Bazaar!
Event dates are Friday, March 31 and Saturday, April 1
Announcing the 22nd Annual Lotus Blossoms World Bazaar! Do you enjoy arts and crafts? Do you enjoy working with children? Lotus is looking for volunteers for our Blossoms Bazaar on Friday, March 31, and Saturday, April 1. Volunteers will be instructed in leading a simple and engaging activity, representing one of many world cultures. They will then work with attendees (children and adults) to teach or share the activity. Atmosphere is lively, dress is casual. Shift is 9:15am to 1:45pm on Friday and 10:30am to 3:30pm on Saturday.
The Lotus Blossoms World Bazaar offers crafts and other activities that celebrate various world cultures, through art and music. It is designed for young people: Friday is open only to 4th graders, who are bussed in; Saturday is open to all, including families. Volunteers work at tables, assisting presenters with their activities.
Volunteer dress is casual. Please wear your 2016-2017 Lotus Volunteer T-shirt, if you have one. We will have a limited number of T-shirts available for volunteers who work a full shift either Friday or Saturday.
Bring a lunch to sustain you. We will have water available, and coffee in the morning.
The Bazaar is held at Binford Elementary School, in the gymnasium (2300 E. Second St., Bloomington)
We also need a few strong folks for set up on Thursday, March 30, from 4:15 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and tear down on Saturday, April 1, from 2:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
On Friday, March 31, we need a few volunteers to act as hall monitors. These folks must go through a background check with Binford, so a speedy response to this email will be appreciated.
Shift Assignments: I will place you where we need you; if you have been requested in a particular booth, I will send you there. If you would like to be a hall monitor, please email me immediately, as you will need to get a background check from Binford.
What do you get for your labors?
- A Lotus T-shirt (in exchange for a FULL shift), if you don't already have one, and a vintage Lotus pin.
- An invitation to the Lotus Volunteer Appreciation Party.
- That warm fuzzy feeling that giving your time to Lotus engenders.
- And don't forget, you can come to any of the public offerings by our artists. More info here: www.lotusfest.org/blossoms-2017-featured-artists/
