These are the open positions-
- Take the Opportunity Quilt to venues - we've identified many places for our Opportunity Quilt to travel prior to the February 2023 show. Staffing a table at these venues allows us to sell opportunity tickets to audiences we may not otherwise see. We need people who are willing to pick up the quilt, its foldable hanger rack (similar to a telescoping camera tripod) and a money box; drive to the venue; staff a table to answer questions and sell tickets; and bring it back home. The schedule of where we can take it, assuming we have volunteers, is located here (see bottom of page)
- E-Commerce (auction quilts, lecture tickets)
- Food - lunches and snacks for workers
- White Glove Helper - support Janet Akman in the Garden Room and manage volunteers who show visitors the backs of quilts
- Outdoor Signs Co-Chair or Helper - assist with the placemat of signs around the Torrance Cultural Arts Center parking lot, street entrances and building entrances to guide cars and pedestrians to our show. Also help to collect the signs after the show ends on Sunday afternoon.
