Kumoricon 2009 Volunteer & Staff Sign up!

[valliegirl]

Hi Everyone!

If you're signing up for Yojimbo, find the other sticky thread in the Get Involved section. 

Reply to this thread if you want to volunteer or be staff. Be sure to include:

1) Full Name (real)
2) E-mail
3) Forum Name
4) Age (useful for knowing if you're going to be available after curfew)
5) Volunteer or Staff
6) What would you like to help with in 2009?

If you would not like this information public, please email volunteers@kumoricon.org, and the information will be given to whomever is chosen to be the volunteer coordinator in November. 

Please keep in mind if you are signing up for staff you will still need to hand in a completed staff registration form as well as the staff registration fee at a meeting before you are fully considered staff.

Thank you all for all you've done and continue to do for our event!

I apologize in advance for the long post.

6) Wherever I am needed most.

I have helped run and officiate in track meets for 6-7 years, including some national level competitions with 1500+ athletes. I was generally in charge of the clerk circle, which handles registration and information, making sure officials have all of the necessary paper work for their events and that they start on time, coordinating breaks in between events, data entry and posting results, as well as a few other misc tasks. It can definitely be a stress heavy environment and includes long days.

So anything along those lines would be easily doable, or whatever gap I am needed to fill. I do like to be able to walk around at least every once in a while. So if the info desk needs help as well, I could assist them during that time or just roam and help various con attendees who have questions.

However there are a few complications. I live in Eugene, and as of this moment, I don't have a car. Also, as I work retail, I have to work some weekends. I have a 3 weeks schedule rotation, but it is fairly constant, so I can plan ahead. I get every third weekend off normally. I do have vacation time, but I would prefer to save that for the actual con and other events if it is needed.

So depending on when the meetings are, I may or may not be able to make most of them. If you have any questions or if you need more info about my work schedule, please let me know and I can give you the details. I will do my best to physically attend any meetings possible, but I also have no problems "telecommuting" or catching up on anything important that I missed.


P.S. This year I volunteered a few times and helped at the sake/beer tasting panel, the information desk, and a few of the viewing rooms.

AHHH! TOO EARLY! *ahem* Sorry- Kumori Con 2008 just ended and we're alreading finding fresh me- I mean, lovable staffers ^_^.

Regardless of what position, I have, I know it'll most likely be under Relations. And I'll probably e-mail my info whenever I'm ready...

[valliegirl]

It's never too early!  I was talking to people about how to sign up for staff in 2009 while 2008 con was still in progress.

Just call me your pusher. 

[BigGuy]

Whee, Arlene is back!

Whee, Arlene is back!

Yeah, and her post is sure modest for a former *chair*!

[eerielunarose]

Yeah, and her post is sure modest for a former *chair*!

Lol, I'd rather forget the better part of that year for various reasons. Aside from which I've been utterly unavailable to all of this for nigh on three years since then, due to needing to pay off bills and other such things. XD

I just hope I can do something nice for Prog dept again, it'd be like coming back to my old hometown or something. Yay Prog!

[Runa]

Guy would like to be AMV Manager again
and I'll do Cosplay Manager again... if y'all want us to that is.

I can run as many hours as you need me, as long as I have energy energy drinks. and  I will. I think I'd work well with DancingTofu

6) In addition to Maid Squad which I intend on joining I'm good for whatever work is assigned to me. I'd like to interact with con attendees : D

Would it be a problem if I can only attend the meetings infrequently? I live 3 hours away from Portland, but I'd be able to make the meetings whenever I was in the area at my mom's house. I'd very much like to be a part of staff but if it's not good enough then that's alright too.

Edit: I should mention that I'll be probably be available to meetings from the end of July till KCon. So I could do bag stuffing and whatnot for next year XD

I'll occasionally be able to come up to meetings with Oslapedo, but not as often as her seeing how I'm gone during the longer breaks in school. If it's not as often as you would like, then that's fine.

[melchizedek]

As Vallie said, one needs to fill out a staff form and pay dues to be staff.

So, making meetings is encouraged not required, but the place to turn in staff forms and dues to your director is at a meeting. 

[oslapedo]

I'll be able to make this upcoming meeting on the 11th. Since I wasn't staff prior, I obviously won't be able to vote in the elections, but is it alright for me to come, just to observe? And I'd like to take care of my forms and dues there : D

Can we print out the forms for staff somewhere and hand them in on the 11th?

[valliegirl]

It's under Documents on the main website.  However, it's the form for 2008...  I'm not sure how the powers that be will want to handle that, they might have new forms ready to go for everyone at that meeting...

Link to 2008 staff reg form:

http://www.kumoricon.org/files/forms/2008/staff_registration_2008.pdf

But the elections is open for the public to observe.  As you stated, you won't be able to vote, but you can certainly observe and ask questions of the candidates if you would like.

[oslapedo]

Okay, since that's the '08 form I'll just wait till the meeting. Should I bring my $10 for dues?

You could, the only thing is that . . .
1.)  What director does maid squad fall under?
2.)  Who will win said election?

Because next week is k-con election meetup.  I guess we could corner the winners and bury them with staff forms :3

[oslapedo]

It can be their victory prize for winning!

[valliegirl]

...  Good point Paul.

Maid Squad currently falls under Vice, and we don't know whether Vice will be a part of the staff election or not because that issue is being voted on that same day.

Basically, it's a good idea to come prepared.  Show up to elections either way, because it's good to be informed about who you'll be working with in the coming year.  If for any reason people can't sign up at elections, you can sign up at the next general meeting in November (date time and location to be announced).

[oslapedo]

So I won't be able to make the meeting anymore unfortunately, but I'd like to be a part of staff by or during KCon Lite so I can help out. Will such an oppurtunity for me to sign up arise?

[Jamiche]

Kcon Lite is a mini-event in conjunction with the anime and gaming clubs of PSU... you do not need to be Kcon staff to help out.  There will be a thread for volunteers for the event posted, probably sometime next week.  Or you can PM Logan (the guy who posted the original thread), and let him know you'd like to help.

[oslapedo]

I'll sign up for volunteering when the post comes up, thanks!

[valliegirl]

There's also future meetings once a month.  If you are still interested in the future to sign up as staff you can do so at any meeting.  Next one will probably be mid November, date tba.

6) I'm up in the air at this point as to what I want to do.  I still wish to work within Ops.  I love Ops and it is my home.  I believe I'd like to wait to declare a position until the new powers that be settle information on positions being created and see if there's a need I can adequately fill that may not have existed previously.  Or I could be your info desk again.

Don't sleep?  Kylite, I want her.  Pretty please?  You can have the next 2!

[kylite]

we will see tofu, we will see *grins* us poor yoji's need to hit our numbers.

[DancingTofu]

Really?  In gaming, we just hit anyone who tells us, "It's your turn in bag check." ;P

[PhantmK]

Yes well, I suppose that technically tofu if you want to be stealing staff, I am the man to talk to since I am the one that both Tanis and Kylite answer too.

Also try not to let the public know that gaming flogs behind the scenes, wait till we have them sign over their souls *cough* I mean "time" to us.

[Seraph]

I'm sure if you tell them to think with portals, they'll be too confused to realize anything.

besides isn't it still super early?  do your "trading" of personell later.

[KaBOOM]

lol you guys are funny but ya
it's rather sad but I like it at the same time....(the not sleeping thing)
(sorry I have been gone I was trying to catch up on all my homework hehe so I am not failing)

[Bob]

I got dibs on her like, 8 months ago, you guys are waaaay behind.

[KaBOOM]

Haha nice Bob..
But I think we can all SHARE ^^

[Seraph]

I dun think you call dibs on someone when they haven't volunteered yet.

either way, I think its mostly up to kab on what wants to do her either way.

[KaBOOM]

Eh yeah true...but it also has to be ok with other staffy people yes??
