Free Friday Night Movies Volunteer Info

* 4-6 volunteers

* 7:30 set-up movies start about 9:30. Meet at our office, 407 S. Walnut St. Parking is available in either lot at the corners of Charles and Walnut Street.

* Set-up involves bringing out all concessions, pop coolers and tables. We will have helpers to bring out popcorn machine and hotdog machine.

* Sell concessions. Food handlers (popcorn and pizza, hotdogs) must wear gloves and cannot handle money. Please do not smoke behind the concession table. If you need to smoke please do it outside of the parking lot.

* The popcorn machine is sensitive and sometimes temperamental. Please do not add a new bag of popcorn to the popper until the last batch has finished popping. A Downtown volunteer will instruct you on how to use the machine...it's easy, just a little cranky.

* Clean-up at the end of the movie. Bring back to the office all concession supplies and tables. Someone will help you bring in the popcorn machine and hotdog machine. If there is popcorn left over, you may bag it and give it away or take some home. Empty the ice out of the coolers before bringing them back in the office. Pick up any remaining trash in the parking lot and put crowd fencing away. Return all trash cans to the back of our building.

* The money box starts with $100 in change. At the end of the evening, we will take out $100 and split the remaining amount with your organization. Only Jamaal, Cheryl or David and one person from your organization are authorized to deal with final payout.

* Thank you for your help. We couldn't do it without you!
