Invitations will be emailed out to all special events crew whenever help is needed. Volunteers can reply to invitations with either yes, no, or maybe that they will attend. This is the ultimate flexible volunteer position!

Duties can include assisting with events for: membership & volunteer recruitment, public education, publicity, family days, fundraising (such as trivia night) and social events for members and active volunteers.
