Pennsic Security E-Volunteering




Poster: SirO <siro@mis.net>

Unto Pennsic Guests and those wonderful souls who volunteer.
To avoid the "mad rush" for shifts at Pennsic and to allow everyone a
chance to help,
This year I am instituting advance, as well as on-site shift assignments
for Security Volunteers.
To help foster teamwork and allow groups that would normally find it
difficult to work together, I will be accepting advance "group" requests
for shift assignments first.
There are a few catches, so read on.
Thanks for your help and effort.

E-mail Volunteering:
Groups ( 6 + ) will be allowed to volunteer for shifts as of 1 June 1999.
Small groups ( 2 - 6 )  will be allowed to volunteer for shifts as of 21
June 1999.
All remaining shifts and positions will be opened up as of 1 July 1999.

Smaller groups or individuals may volunteer for shifts at Substations as of
1 June 1999.
     (These are comprised of 2 sitting positions. Supervisor and Radio )

A "group" will be identified by a common name only.
A group must have at least 6 persons. (Sitting and foot positions filled
first)
 It is not relegated to Baronies, shires, Houses, genders , etc... 
Just pick a name and Volunteer. I'll be happy to have you.
Any loose association of people who wish to work together for the common
good may form a "group" for volunteering purposes.

In order to qualify for a "group" shift  as of 1 June, you must assume all
foot / sitting positions and as many cart positions as possible.
Smaller "groups" ( 2-6 ) may volunteer for remaining shifts as of 21 June
1999.

All shifts will be 3 hours long and groups may volunteer for 2 consecutive
shifts at night but not during the day until after 1 July 1999.
Shifts begin at 11:00 PM and run in 3 hour blocks.

Now.
What I need to know is this:
1: When can your group work?
2: How many people?
3: Where? ie; Substations or Main
4: Who will be working? (Names, etc...)

Rules for Volunteering:
1. All Volunteers must be approved by myself or my Senior staff.
2. All sitting or Foot patrols will be filled prior to cart patrols.

(this may be assigned seperately by a special Deputy)
