Saturday, June 2, 2012 • 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

We hope that you will volunteer for one or both days of this 2-day event:
Volunteer shifts are:
Friday, June 1 – Noon to 5:00pm
Friday, June 1 – 4:00 to 9:00pm
Saturday, June 2 – 8:00am to 12:30pm
Saturday, June 2 – 11:30am to 4:00pm

We are hopeful that you will volunteer, provide volunteers from your agency and/or provide us with leads to other potential volunteers.  Volunteers are critical to the success of the day. We need at least 50 volunteers per shift to help us with registration, exit surveys, directional guidance, translation and additional assistance that helps the day run smoothly for the homeowner.

Volunteers will be provided with an event t-shirt, be fed, and receive free parking.

We are expecting approximately 15-20 mortgage lender companies and approximately 500-750 homeowners to attend.

For your convenience, I have attached FAQ Volunteer.  This document will help to answer general questions about the event and explain some of the volunteer roles. A flyer for homeowners is also attached for your use to promote the event. An additional attachment helps to explain the over-arching responsibilities of the partners that organize these events.
