[Organizers] Taking admission

Hi Chrissy and others. Happy New Year :) Catching up after holidays family insanity..... In Ottawa... Who: Two volunteers always. Don't have to be committee members or anything. Starts 1hr prior to the dance starting and goes until the break. (Then 'half price box goes out). 2 volunteers for each of 7-8pm, dances 1-2, dances 3-4, dances 5-6. We book these ahead so folks know and make sure one experienced person in each slot. How: -Scheduling done via email 1 week ahead. Call put out to volunteer email list -Not much vetting. Make sure one person with experience who knows how things work. Never been an issue other than would like to have some people be a bit more outgoing/warm to new people. -No compensation. And no difficulty getting slots filled. (Sometimes have to make a second ask but filling other volunteer positions at same time.) Other info: - We do have some 'instructions' written down on the role. -They are greeting the beginners too, giving out second dance free cards, etc. -We carefully track who is coming in (in terms of numbers in different categories, not names) so we can reconcile the finances but more importantly track data on type of people (e.g. members, new people, non members, students etc)... two people is good for that. :) Emily - Ottawa Contra
