Make plans now to be a part of Waukee Fest 2010 on Saturday, August 28. We’d love to have as many Westwind folks either volunteering at or attending the big day as possible. This is our chance to show the community that Westwind Church isn’t just a church that happens to be located in Waukee, but that we are determined to be an integral part of this community. We want to show the community we care what happens here.
There are a variety of ways you can volunteer to help:
1. Volunteers to help the City of Waukee
Westwind will provide the city (our event hosts) with 10 Vendor Area Volunteers to help event vendors with locating their designated spots and with set-up. Hours for this are 7:15-9:30, though we also may need a handful for other vendor tasks later in the day. We also need 5 Parade Line-up Volunteers, who will help get parade entries lined up in the Middle School Parking Lot from 9:30-11:00.
2. Volunteers to help the Waukee Arts Council
To help show the community that the arts are important at Westwind, we want to provide volunteers to help staff the Council’s “Imagine…Create…Experience” tent, a Waukee Fest staple. The tent provides free art opportunities including visual, musical, and dramatic activities. Non-creative volunteers can also help as well.
3. Westwind Parade Float “Staff”
We’re looking for some energetic, maybe even “theatrical” types, who can be a part of the Westwind float. Volunteers need to be able to walk the entire parade route, which is a mile long. Parade line-up begins at 10:00, with the parade starting promptly at 11:00.
4. Westwind Information Booth Staff
We’re looking for 3 people who can set up the booth (8:00-9:00), people who can staff the booth for a shift during the day (2 people from 9:00-12:00; and 2 people from 12:00-3:00), and 2 people who will take the last shift plus tear down the booth at the end of the day (3:00-5:30). This booth will help the community know just who we are.
5. Westwind Art Booth
Westwind will host an artist’s booth that day. If you do any work in the visual arts, we’d love to have you display some of your pieces that day. Your art can be for sale or just for display, it’s up to you. As part of the display, we’ll also ask the artists to provide a brief statement explaining how their faith affects their art. Contact Glenda Johnson at 987-2920 or gyvonneartist@msn.com before August 14th.
To volunteer, you can use this form. Contact Kevin (kevin@westwindchurch.org) if you need more information . Wear your Westwind t-shirt and we’ll see you there.
