Hi friends!
 
Apologies to those of you who've already received this email, but I wanted to forward along an invite for an awesome fundraiser playing BINGO for a great cause.  Next Sunday, October 9, at noon, hundreds of people are getting together to play BINGO at the SJPST Lodge (around the Heights) to raise money for the Berry children.  The three children lost their parents in a car accident over this past July 4th weekend, and two of the children were also paralyzed from the waist down.  The community has really rallied to support these children, but we still need your help! 
 
The cost to play is only $15 and it goes 100% to the children's trust (Register online HERE http://bit.ly/bingo4theberrys to pay $15 today, otherwise $20 at the door).  This covers an afternoon of BINGO with amazing raffle prizes!  The Lodge will also be selling beer/wine as well as soda/water, and the event is also BYOB (for non-oped bottles of wine and liquor), as well as food!  There will be TWO local food trucks on site (Zillas Street Eats and Eatsie Boys Ice Cream) .
 
Please come and make an afternoon of it with food, drinks, games, and prizes - all while supporting a great cause.  And please forward this on to others!!!
 
Hope to see you there!!!
 
-Jeanie

BCAF Volunteerism 101

We count on exceptional volunteers to help us host a beautiful event for the Houston

Community. Before you register, please read the following guidelines to keep in mind for

your volunteer experience!

1. Arrive to your shift EARLY. We encourage volunteers to plan ahead for parking and traffic delays. We count on you as a volunteer to fulfill your commitment and be punctual.  
2. Please stay for your ENTIRE shift. We rely on you to work a full shift so that all areas of the festival are covered at all times. If there is an emergency, please contact a Volunteer Committee Member or staff personnel.  
3. There are absolutely NO children under the age of 16 allowed to volunteer. Children under the age of 12 are admitted to the festival at no charge.  
4. Remember to bring a hat and sunscreen.  
5. You must sign out by returning to Volunteer Check-In at the end of your shift.  You are welcome to stay and enjoy the festival once your shift ends, but you must sign out first.  
6. Additionally, we ask that you remove your Volunteer T-shirt once your shift ends. This is mainly to avoid confusion among our staff and artists to ensure that everyone wearing a Volunteer T-shirt is actually volunteering.  
7. There will be water and snacks available at Volunteer Check-In. There will also be Volunteer Committee Members monitoring the festival to make sure volunteers have relief when they need it. 
8. Remember to keep in mind that volunteering at our festival requires a good amount of standing and moving. Please remember to wear the appropriate clothing to stay cool and comfortable.  

As an event, we always strive to make your volunteer experience as enjoyable as possible. We are always open to your feedback and strive to improve our program with each festival!
