Work
Hours:
To
remain a member in good standing and qualify for Year-End awards, all

your work hours for $250. If this is the case, you must include a

GENERAL
VOLUNTEER INFORMATION
The
information has been prepared as a guide for
(a) members
to understand the staff positions for which they may be best suited
(b) organizers
to properly staff their shows.
Please
read each staff position closely and keep these guidelines available for
handy reference.
In
an effort to provide continuity for judges and exhibitors, a member is
required to staff a show for a minimum of 4 hours
- except for set-up or take-down.
If you are volunteering for a full day, you have the option of
changing jobs between morning and afternoon sessions.
NOTE:
Even though you may have signed up for a 4-hour minimum, be
prepared to continue staffing your position until either the lunch break
or the end of the show. It is
essential that you do NOT leave your position in the middle of a session
because “your hours are up.”
Some
show positions have age requirements.
DVHA prefers that an adult be responsible for fulfilling work hours
for junior member under the age of 10.
Show
organizers have many responsibilities when preparing for a show.
Therefore, it is each member’s responsibility to notify the show
organizer to volunteer for a
particular show. It is also
each member’s responsibility to complete the required volunteer hours (8
hours) if (a) that member is competing for year end awards – or –
(b) if that member committed to doing the hours in order to use the
showgrounds.
Report
promptly to the show organizer on the day of the show.
Each member must have the volunteer
form signed by the show
organizer when volunteer time has been completed.
A
show organizer cannot be held responsible for verification of a member’s
hours the next day or the next month following the show!
If
you find your arrival will be delayed (due to circumstances beyond your
control) on show day, please call the show office and let the show
organizer (or someone in authority) know.
Thank
you for volunteering and remember - - IT IS FUN!
