It's almost time for the 2009 Austin Reggae Festival on Auditorium Shores in Austin TX, benefiting the Capital Area Food Bank. You are important to our success, and your contribution is unique and important to us! There will be a lot of great changes this year, and we hope to see you there.
The sign-up process for volunteers is now starting!

COSTS: $10
VOLUNTEERS GET IN FREE, HERE'S HOW:
Our duties include (but are not limited to):

Here's the nutshell:
-Working one 5 hr shift gets you snacks and beverages provided, and adult beverages if you are over 21 so don't forget your ID!
-Working 10 hours over the event weekend (equivalent to 2 shifts)
Gets you a nifty festival t-shirt, and snacks and beverages will be provided. You may spread your time out over both days, or you may work only one day of the event weekend.
