WW-
Well, since I hadn't heard anything I was planning on coming to the HH on Saturday and working the show on Sunday. But now it sounds like that you are looking for people on Thursday. I would like to know when I am needed so I can plan this weekend. It may be best to send an e-mail to the address in my profile and I will respond with my cell number.

Information for Volunteers:
Hi Dan, and other volunteers....
Here's all the information: Kamala and I are arriving on THURS. It is FRIDAY that is a "work day"devoted to helping set up the show. Kamala just called me and told me that she'd accidentally typed "Thurs" as the work day. It is not Thurs; it is Friday. SingleDivers.com tries to have volunteers throughout the event (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). On Friday, we also set up the SingleDivers.com booth, but that is a relatively small task; most of Friday is spent helping the DiveTravel Expo folks with setup. On Saturday and Sunday, we need volunteers to help DiveTravel Expo folks, and also volunteers at the SingleDivers.com booth.
SHIFTS: I spoke to the folks at DiveTravel Expo. They are trying to fit volunteers into shifts, such as 8-noon; noon-5, all day. They understand that they have to be somewhat flexible, but that's the working goal for them. If you can only work a partial shift, let us know.
JOBS: Here are the jobs that DiveTravel Expo has for volunteers:
· Setting up and assisting at the registration booth – Friday, Saturday, Sunday
· Security issues involved with gear and booths – Friday, Saturday, Sunday
· Various tasks as requested by event coordinators - Friday, Sat, Sunday
· Assist attendees - Saturday, Sunday
· Assist with Children's Program – Saturday, 10am-2pm
· Assist with the Deep Ambitions Career Fair – Saturday, 10:30am-1:30pm
· Audio/Visual equipment for the show and film festival -- Saturday, 5-9pm (Festival itself runs 7p-9p)
· Treasure Hunt assistance at Owen Beach in Tacoma, WA – Sunday. Registration is 6:30am-9am. Dive begins at 9am
· A separate volunteer opportunity is helping at the SingleDivers.com booth (Saturday, 9zam-5pm, and Sunday 10am-5pm)
FREEBIES: In addition to free admission to the Dive Show, if you work at least four hours you will get an "Event Staff" t-shirt and you will be eligible for the many drawings. Volunteers who work more than 4 hours per day will be given a meal coupon for the Expo site. At the end of the show on Sunday night, a pizza party will be held at Katie Downs. There are also Exhibitors socials on Friday and Saturday nites.
EXPO HOURS:
The Expo for the public is open on Saturday, from 9-5pm and Sunday, from 10-5pm. Volunteers are asked to arrive 1/2 hour before their shift begins.
WHAT I NEED FROM YOU ASAP: The folks at DiveTravel Expo would like a list of names/emails/requested volunteer hours ASAP. In short, they want to be sure they will have volunteers distributed throughout the show. Can you post the following here:
* when you would like to volunteer (which days, hours)
* in what capacity (if you want a particular task)
There are expecting 4000-5000 attendees at this Expo. Our work WILL be appreciated!
