Yard Sale, July 12th, 11am-4pm (Arrive between 10:30am and 10:45am)

• Point of Sale (2x): Assist staff and Volunteer should be friendly and previous customer service experience or POS/money handling experience an asset. 
• Floating support (2-3x): Greet guests as they arrive and offer assistance directing them to items or locations in the Gallery, maintain refreshments table (lemonade and water). Volunteers should be friendly and able to multi-task. Volunteers will be on their feet for most of the event. May be asked to assist with transporting/loading materials for purchase, but this will not be required of all volunteers in this role. Please note whether you are comfortable loading materials if applying to this position. This may be a physical role, but can be adjusted to accommodate needs and abilities. 
• Art Activity support (2x): work with the Gallery staff to manage small art activity, provide art materials for attending children to use (drawing, collage, etc.), experience working with children is an asset. Art activity may be outside on the front patio area depending on weather. Projects are designed to be fun for all skill levels, so an art background is not required for volunteers.

Volunteers can express interest in multiple positions if desired, with final positions determined and communicated at least a week in advance. Positions may be flexible depending on the business of the event (e.g. may ask art activity volunteers to help move items or refresh drinks).
