Mad Cow Theatre is putting together the 7th Annual Orlando Cabaret Festival and they need volunteers:
"...Preparations are underway for the 7th Annual Orlando Cabaret Festival running April 30 - May 10, 2009. The reason we (are looking for volunteers this early) is because we are applying again for financial support through Orange County and it is a requirement to show demonstrated support from the community for our project. By pledging your support now, you demonstrate the high level of support we receive from the community which is a very important requirement of the Orange County Tourist Tax Development Grant.
...We are asking that you take a moment to consider your desired amount of involvement in this year's festival, and submit that amount of time in writing. In order to satisfy specific grant needs, we are hoping for a total of 1,000 hours pledged. These hours can be spent ushering/ticket taking (as many of you already do), helping sell/pick-up concessions, organizing merchandise, greeting patrons, or administrative assistance before and after the festival. Of course we realize the festival is more than 7 months away and it’s difficult for anyone to pinpoint specific availability. Specific scheduling details will happen as the festival approaches. At this time, we really need to demonstrate to Orange County a sense of commitment from our volunteers in the community.
If you can help us, please copy and paste the form below into an email to be filled out and sent back ASAP to volunteers@madcowtheatre.com. Specifically, we are asking for pledges in blocks of 5, 10, 30, or 50 hour increments.Volunteer Pledge
