You Want To Help Out  (but you don't know where to start)
by Kristina Kelly; S.K.A. Rosalind O'Maughan

...In my experience if you really would like to help out, be specific
with what you would like to do.  This is a way of showing the hosting
group what you are willing to do and grabs their attention better than a
general statement...

The following is a list of things you could volunteer to do at an event. 
If you are new to the SCA it may be better for you to start out with the
easier jobs, like serving feast, than volunteering for troll if you've
never done it.

Friday
Some events have soup kitchens on friday - offer to help serve
Offer to check the bathrooms for toilet paper
Some parks require that the gate be kept closed except to let the campers
in. Offer to stand security at the gate (this is usually done in Pairs)
Can't sleep? Offer to keep the Troll Company.  If you have never worked
troll this is a good time to learn how its done.

Saturday
Learn to be a herald. Help with wake up callsor announce classes, time,
etc.
Be a water bearer- there never seems to be enough. Don't forget to water
the Marshalls, too;-)
Volunteer to do another Toilet paper Check
Work Security...
Work the parking lot...
Help set up for court - Tents, thrones, stools tables,...
Serve Feast
Wash Dishes...
Sweep the hall for the dancing	
Are you a Pyromaniac? Offer to build the bonfire for the bardic circle

Sunday
Help Clean up the site...
Write a letter to the Crown about the people you saw working at the event


This is most of it. some words and phrases have been left out cause I'm
too lazy to type them and its understandable.  Hope this helps.
