Fixed Function Food Volunteers:
Many people are needed to feed the hungry fans. In particular, the Con Suite, Staff Den, and Green Room are where Arisia keeps our attendees fed. Set-up and clean-up is constant, and we really need you! For example the Con Suite is open nearly 24 hours.

Art Show Setup
Many hands make quick work, and people are needed to assemble the Art Show displays Thursday evening. You don't need to be really a Mr. Fix-it, but being handy with tools would sure help.

Volunteers under 18 years of age will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact: security@arisia.org if you are interested in working for Arisia Security 07.

Fast Track Assistants
Looking for a good time with small people?
We're looking for a few fun Fast Track assistants. Creativity, ability to solve problems, and desire to work with children ages 7-12 are necessary for this fast paced con-within-a-con. Programmed hours will be Friday night 7-9, Saturday 10-6, and Sunday noon-2 or 3... There has been a request for the Fast Track rooms to be opened with unscheduled but supervised play on Sunday morning to accommodate those parents who have Sunday morning program items, so a morning person or two would be a great help here on Sunday 9:45 am to noon. And then there's clean-up. Animals, discussions, music, magic, and of course, crafts of all sorts are planned for this year.
Please contact Persis Thorndike at FastTrack@arisia.org if you are interested in joining the Fast Track Team as a part-time or full-time assistant, or even if you are willing to put in a few hours before, during, or after.
