ASCEND - 2010 FAMILY FUN FEST

Hello All!

ASCEND is putting on a new event this year in conjunction with its Annual Conference.  It is our Family Fun Fest at Noahs!  Bring the entire family and invite your friends and associates to do the same.  Activities include ice skating, racquetball, interactive program displays, international market, games, food, partner booths, international performing artists and expedition reunions with Region Managers from Bolivia and Ecuador.  But without volunteers it won't be possible.  We need your help!

Now is the time to pull out your calendars, check your schedules and set aside time to help at the Annual Family Fun Fest.  We so appreciate and depend on our volunteers, and hope you can help us!     

Family Fun Fest – Thursday, January 28, 2010, from 4:00 – 8:00 p.m.

Volunteers will be needed throughout the day in four hour increments (if you can't set aside a full four hours, let us know what you can commit to and we'll try to adjust).  Please tell your friends and encourage them to help as well. 

Please call ASCEND Head Quarters at 801-478-0059 or email Elaine at elainer@ascendemail.net with the time period/s you will be able to volunteer (include names and time periods of others that would like to help as well if applicable). 

Set Up will be from 7 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Volunteer increments for Set Up are 7 – 11 a.m., and 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

The Event is from 4 – 8 p.m.  You will need some instruction prior to taking your position.  Your four hour shift will include the instruction time.  The first shift may be helping with last minute set up, and the second shift will be helping with the break down.
