NTGIG needs a few more good men/women to help us at the September 19, Gaylord Texan Hotel event. Here’s a list of what’s needed:
HELP WANTED:
We have already had 75 volunteers sign up to help make this fund raiser a success - many of those volunteers have been busy working on their tasks for the past two to eight months. Now we are getting down to crunch time and have the following tasks where your help is needed to make this event a success in every way - celiac awareness, fund raising as well as restaurant involvement in our community of gluten free eating.
Where can you help?
One creative thinker to develop a gluten-free quiz scavenger hunt to place in the LED menu displays on each table (4€¯ x 6€¯). Claudia has ideas and can provide starting direction.
A few good balloon aficionados tobe at the Glass Cactus a few hours earlier in the to Ā fill the helium balloons.
A few folks who like kids to volunteer for an hour’s shift at the Kid’s Table which will be part of the “Makeover Tables”€¯ and will provide a spot where small kids who come can feel a part of the event when they spend ten or fifteen minutes doing an activity, getting a face painting, etc.
Someone with a friendly smile to take an hour shift manningĀ either a vendor tables or aĀ restaurant tables.
Someone who knows the alphabet, can hand out tickets to take a shift at the will call table to check in attendees.
Several friendly, welcoming faces to work a shift as a greeter at the entry doors.
