Many of you have asked how you can volunteer...well, here's your chance!
CABIN FEVER
The Cabin Fever festival is coming quickly (February 6, 2010) and there's a lot to be done to make it the most successful Festival yet!
Here's what we need:
* 10 volunteers
* Each volunteer will be assigned a group of 17 local merchants
* Project Play will be sending letters to each of these merchants by Monday 12/7
* Volunteers call list of merchants week of 12/14 to confirm receipt of the letter- Will take approx. 1.5 hours
* Volunteers call to follow up again week of 1/4/2010 to request and confirm raffle or financial donation- Will take approx. 1.5 hours
* Volunteers collect raffle prizes or financial donations from merchants and deliver them to Project Play "headquarters" (aka Zabrina's house!) week of 1/11/2010 - will take approx. 3 hours
SCHOOL LIAISONS
Here's what we need:
* 2 volunteers
* Each volunteer will be assigned approx. 7 schools/daycares
* Volunteers call upon school administrators to set up in person meeting and introduce them to Project Play - will take approx. 6 hours over the course of a month
* Volunteers will keep in touch with school contact about Project Play updates/News - can take as much or as little time as you deem necessary
* Volunteers will request access to Parent meetings as well as student forums to inform about Project Play- again, not sure how long this will take and will be done over the course of a few months
MARKETING
Here's what we need:
* 1 volunteer with graphic design experience- will assist with design of posters, brochures, overall marketing materials - time will vary significantly month by month based on activities going on
* 1 volunteer with PR and media background or someone who has contacts in those fields- We want the surrounding community to know all about Project Play so we want as much "attention" as we can get! Again, amount of time needed will vary based on activity levels
* 5 volunteers - "Guerilla Marketers"- these volunteers will be assigned sections of Hoboken to canvas with posters to be placed in merchant windows, post flyers on community boards, etc. - will take approx. 2 hours each time we need the "word spread"
We hope you can help in whatever ways you can! We appreciate such positive support from all of you! Thanks so much!
