Volunteers Needed For The 9th Annual Expo for Independent Arts: This Saturday.

[Guest guest]

Dear Volunteers,

 

The San Francisco Vegetarian Society is having a table this Saturday

at The 9th Annual Expo for Independent Arts and we need the help of

you wonderful volunteers.

 

Before or after your shift, you will have the opportunity to see some

talented members of the local arts community, either on stage or at

their booths.

 

We need your support to promote our vegetarian cause. We need

volunteers to man our table, promote a plant-based diet, meet new

people, promote our World Veg Festival Weekend and more. This

is a one day event. You can volunteer as much as you want for the

allotted time. It is all up to you. You will really enjoy this one.

 

The following is the schedule of our volunteer needs:

 

September 27, Saturday

11 am - 2 pm 2 volunteers needed.

2 pm - 6 pm 2 volunteers needed

 

If doing the complete 2 PM to 6 PM shift is too long for you, three

or two hours will work!

 

We need 2 volunteers per shift. Please register early so we will know

our bandwidth. You will enjoy meeting new people. The people you will

meet are very friendly at this festive occasion. If you need

coaching, you will be trained to meet new people. They normally come

to our table for our fliers, vegetarian starter kits, membership to

SFVS, pamphlet on the restaurant guide in the Bay area.

 

Please email me at rojony57 to volunteer at the San

Francisco Vegetarian Society table.
