Volunteering at Minicon 53
Minicon needs volunteers, badly. This year, there will be a thank you spork for five hours or more spent at the convention volunteering. Really? A spork? How many times have you been caught without a utensil? It's a really cool spork.
If you'd like to help out, please send an email to volREMOVEunteers@miniconTHIS53.mnstf.org. There will also be a sign-up sheet at the registration desk.
- Art Show
- There is a lot of physical labor setting up and tearing down, as well as patrolling the show to look for quick sales, handling print-shop sales, or assisting with general operations. Volunteers should be able to communicate well, and be able to handle money and documentation of sales.
- Code of Conduct Committee
- Discuss (rare) harassment issues that may come up and help decide action with other CoC volunteers based on written guidelines. The volunteer should be willing to take some 'on call' shifts and be sober while doing so, and should be willing to keep complete confidence about any issues related to CoC volunteering.
- Consuite
- Many tasks, of varying skill level and mobility requirements. The most common tasks involve food prep, dishwashing, food delivery, or general cleaning.
- Move-in, Move-out
- Load and unload a truck, help with set-up and tear down.
- Film Room (at-con)
- Monitor the film room to see that no one inappropriately futzes with the projector or sound equipment.
- Gaming Head
- Organize times for games and special events as much or as little as you like.
- Costume Contest
- Organize Costume Contest on Saturday night. Previous head is willing to help with transition.
- Bar & Klatsches
