When we say we need your help, we mean "WE NEED YOUR HELP!"

The Utah Brits has no paid staff. EVERYTHING that we organize is done by volunteer members just like you. The quality of benefits the association provides is only as good as the help we get. As the number of volunteers drop, so do the frequency of socials, the quality of events, and the mailings to you. If YOU volunteer to help in ANY capacity, that lightens someone elses burden and make the association more rewarding for all.

While we could use help in any area, following are some areas where we need help now:

• Run a Popcorn Stand at the British Field Day
• Run a Cotton Candy Stand at the British Field Day
• Help Staff an Information Booth at the British Field Day
• Help Set Up Stage and Canopies at British Field Day
• Help Transport Materials to Events
• Staff an Information Booth at Scottish Festival
• Sponsor Recruitment
• Vendor Recruitment
• Cmty Arts Development Grant Request
• Bonfire Night Program Layout

• Assistant Membership Director

As you can see, there's LOTS of work to do! For Bonfire Night 2003 we had about twelve volunteers. For British Field Day 2004 it was down to FIVE! Try to imagine FIVE people trying to do everything on this list. Is it fair to expect those FIVE people to do it all themselves?

If you want to help do anything on the list above, help someone else do something from the list above, or simply sit in meetings and help brainstorm how to get something done; then come to a meeting or call a board member.

WE NEED YOU!
