Re: Volunteer workers  

Where: NFB Convention, Houston TX 

When:  July 3rd  

Times: 9 am through 8:30 pm (prefer 2-hour time shifts)  

 

When you email your volunteer commitment, please provide the following
information:  

 

1.       Volunteer Shift Time (We ask that you commit to a 2-hour block): 

1.	9:00 - 11:00 a.m. (Preparation: box sorting and room setup) 
2.	11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. (Preparation: box sorting and room setup) 
3.	1:00 - 3:00 p.m. (Preparation: box sorting and room setup) 
4.	3:00 - 4:30 p.m. (Preparation: box sorting and room setup) 
** Note: this slot is sometimes not needed because the room is ready early
and locked up until event time! 
5.	4:30 - 6:30 p.m. (Event time: assisting families in finding books &
packing boxes) 
6.	6:30 - 8:00 p.m. (Event time and Cleanup: Packing remaining books
and removing trash) 

2.       My cell phone number that I will have at convention is: _ 

3.       I live in (state): _ 

4.       Braille skills (including if you read by touch or by sight as a
sighted person): _ 

 

Note: If you are a parent of a blind child under the age 18 (or still in
high school or below), we 

know that you will want to attend the NOPBC Annual Meeting which takes place
just before the  

BBF (1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.), but we would welcome you to work either during
the event or on the clean-up shift after the event.  

 

The Braille Book Fair has become one of the highlights of the convention for
many teachers,  

parents, blind kids, blind parents, and adult beginning Braille readers. But
the event could not  

take place without the help of many dedicated, talented volunteers. And
that's where you come  

in! As a past worker, or simply interested supporter of the Braille Book
Fair, I hope you can  

either volunteer or give me the contact information for someone that you
recommend.  

You do not need to work the entire afternoon or evening, but I do ask that
you try to work an  

entire shift. 

 

We especially need people who help customers to come BEFORE we open the
doors at 5:00 pm and to commit to staying until at least 6:30 pm. Book
lovers are great for this shift, as you will assist visitors in book
decisions/selections.  

 

Thanks so much for taking time to consider this request, and I look forward
to hearing from you  

soon!  

 

Braille Rocks, Krystal Guillory 

 

If you can help, please contact Cassie and include the 4 items of
information!
