MFM is Looking for a Few Good Volunteers!

MFM needs volunteers to help with it's many panels, activities, and operations. By working just 15 hours over the length of the Meet, you can earn a roll-over membership for next year's Meet.

The MFM staff will need help with the following: Registration, Security, Dealer's Den set-up and removal, computer room set-up Auction, clean-up, and other NIRTS areas (Need It Right This Second). You don't have to work in one place; you can pick where you'd like to help, providing that there is need.

Oh, did I mention Overtime? You can earn time and a half for helping initial set-up and teardown Thursday and Monday. So, for every 1 hour you work those days, you earn 1.5 hours!

And if you don't work enough hours to make a comped membership, we'll still thank you with something special. But the Fur with the most hours worked will receive a hearty pawshake, a slap on the back, and the Joy of knowing that Staff really appreciated the work. Oh, and something REALLY super spiffy to take home with you too!

Hours and prizes, except the Grunt of the Meet Award (TM) will be determined before the con, but I promise that gophers and help staff will have plenty of time to enjoy the Meet!

Need more information, please send a message here!

Looking For A Few Good Furs

Tue, 07/24/2007 - 07:20 — berin

Heylo everyone.  Berin Greenbear here.  The bear selected by acclaim to take over from Quasi Skunk as the volunteer organizer.

Mephit runs on the strength of volunteers.  The proof of that is Con Staff.  No one that is a part Con Staff gets paid for this.  Every dollar you spend on Con registration goes to pay the bills to keep this good thing going.

So here's what I'm offering:  I'm offering you, the furson reading this, the opportunity to be part of Mephit Staff for an hour at a time.  What will you be doing?  The same sorts of things that the rest of staff is doing:  Getting things out of storage, go shopping for Con Suite goodies, unloading trucks, set up and tear down equipment...  Con Staff does a lot of things that are virtually invisible, but make Mephit happen, and make it the Good Time that is had by everyone.

 So what do you get for being a Volunteer? 

  • Gratitude of Con staff.
  • Bag of goodies
  • Thank-you gifts
  • Bragging rights: "It's Mephit Furmeet!  And I helped!"

There might even be a surprise or two.

First time at a Con?  Your friends just ditched you?  Feeling bored?  Come find me, Berin Greenbear, or Wolfpaws at or near the Registration desk.  We'll find something for you to do!  We'll introduce you to strange, interesting, and downright unusal folks! You'll have fun!
