Subject: [NFBF-L] Volunteering at the Hospitality Suite

 

Hello Florida,

 

Here are the hours of the hospitality suite for the 2025 National Federation of the Blind of Florida state convention. The Statewide Chapter , this year's hospitality suite coordinators, would really appreciate volunteers to make the hospitality suite a success. There will be several 1-2 hour shifts throughout the week. In addition, we will be using a scheduling platform to make signups easier. Before releasing the link, we would like to release the hours to allow prospective volunteers to consider their schedules and availability. Here are the general duties of a volunteer:

1. Marshalling: Assist in making sure that there is order to the line in the hospitality suite.

2. Serving: Handing out food to fellow conventioneers.

3. Handling snacks: Organizing, sorting, and distributing snacks.

4. Handling drinks: Organizing, sorting, and distributing drinks.

5. Running the coffee machine, if a coffee machine is present.

6. Setting up and cleaning up the suite.

These duties are not meant to be specific but are meant to serve as a general overview of possible tasks to be executed by the prospective volunteer.

 

The Hours are as follows:

Friday: 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Saturday: 7:00 AM - 8:45 AM; 12:00 PM - 5:30 PM

Sunday: 7:00 AM - 8:45 AM; 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM

 

It would be greatly appreciated if first-shift volunteers came 30 minutes early to assist in setting up. For volunteers assisting with the last shift, it would be greatly appreciated if they can stay 15-30 minutes after closing to assist with cleaning up.

 

For all conventioneers, I would like to remind you all that the food and beverages at the hospitality suite are not meant to serve as a meal. We will only be serving lite refreshments unless we receive hot food donations from a restaurant. If we do receive hot food donations from a restaurant, we will notify all conventioneers accordingly. As we get closer to convention, the rules of the hospitality suite will be sent via email to give all conventioneers the opportunity to enjoy a lite snack. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send me an email As we get closer, I will also share my contact info for prospective volunteers to directly reach me.

 

Let's make the hospitality suite a place for all conventioneers to enjoy a lite snack and socialize. Have a great day, and let's continue to build the National Federation of the Blind.

 

Best,

Jose Bohorquez and Niklas Ham,

2025 NFBF Convention Hospitality Suite Management Coordinators
