For this task you will gather groups prior to leaving for their event and will check in each participant.You will be provided with a sign indicating the name and number for that event. (This will mean leaving the Information Desk for a few minutes to gather the group outside.) You can access your list of participants either through Bobolink (preferred) or by picking up a printed list from the Trip Starter Desk in the Morro Bay Community Center Lobby.
Sales Table: Volunteers will staff the MBBF sales table at the MBCC Bazaar, at which current and past years’ Festival merchandise will be sold. Volunteer staff will handle all sales and keep inventory of items sold, using a Point of Sale technology called Zettle. Important Note: Volunteers in this position should be comfortable handling money and using technology, as sales will be entered and processed on Zettle and will involve cash and credit card sales. One short training session will be required for all Sales Table volunteers the week before the Festival is held.
