BARGAIN MEDIAWEST*CON MEMBERSHIPS AVAILABLE

when you become a

GOFER VOLUNTEER!


Donate ten (10) hours of your Memorial Day weekend and pay only FIFTEEN DOLLARS ($15) for your four (4) day membership.

*ADVANTAGES – YOU SET YOUR OWN SCHEDULE (as hours are available). Peruse the program book to determine what panels/events you do not want to miss. Then YOU CHOOSE among various two (2) hour shifts available each day to fulfill your twelve (12) hour obligation.

DUTIES:
BE NICE! (Always be nice!) Sign in at Gofer Headquarters / Con Suite to schedule your work hours. Show up on time for your assigned tasks and remain on duty for the entire shift. [IF THERE IS A PROBLEM – CALL OR SEND SOMEONE FOR MW*C SECURITY.] Make sure the Department Head (or current person in charge of that department) signs off that you worked your shift. If you are not needed at your assigned station, contact the Con Suite and ask where you ARE needed, so that you get credit for ALL of your schedule. When your hours are fulfilled and signed, turn in your schedule at Gofer Headquarters/Con Suite.

*You will receive a small “Thank You” bag of goodies for volunteering!

TASKS:
REGISTRATION - You will check in members, hand out badges and program books and (hopefully) sign up people for next year’s convention.

ART SHOW – You will collect member’s belongings (bags, purses, stacks of 'zines, etc.) in exchange for a ticket, while they are in the room. When presented with their ticket, you will return their items as they leave the area. On Monday morning you may assist in locating purchased art for purchasers.

'ZINE READING ROOM & SILENT AUCTION – You will sign zines in and out for members to read (in the room), and answer silent auctions questions.

DEALER’S ROOM – You will check name badges to insure that only MW*C attendees (or hotel staff) are permitted entrance. (No pets allowed, unless they belong to a dealer. You may NOT be a pet sitter!)
