I’m sitting here waiting for folks to come to the door, so I figured I’d do some shilling for Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, California (about 30 minutes south of Riverside, off I-215, for those unfamiliar with the area). I just received mail from Paul Peters, the volunteer coordinator, that said, in part:
We are still short handed for the event, so if you find that you can work extra days or shifts, or have friends or family that can also assist we would appreciate the additional help (Volunteers do not have to be members).
Some of the days and positions we need help on are listed below:
- Saturday Nov 13th: Thomas Host, Security, Omar’s Tent (Gift Shop), Car House Four (standard gauge barn) Hosts, and Kids Activity Area.
- Sunday Nov 14th: Crossing Guards, Thomas Host, Security, Omar’s, Greeter, Car House Four (standard gauge barn) Hosts, and Kids Activity Area.
- Friday Nov 19th: Security, Omar’s, Ticket Checker, Car house Four (standard gauge barn) Hosts, and Kids Activity Area
- Saturday Nov 20th: Thomas Hosts, Security, Omar’s, Car House Four (standard gauge barn) Hosts, and Kids Activity Area.
- Sunday Nov 21st: Crossing Guards, Thomas Hosts, Security, Omar’s, Greeter, Car House Four (standard gauge barn) Hosts, and Kids Activity Area.
The biggest shortages are shift one and two Sunday the 14th for Thomas hosts, and All shifts for Security, as well as the first shift on Sunday the 21st for Thomas hosts.
If you would be interested in volunteering, please contact me and I’ll get your information to Paul. We’ll be there the weekend of November 20-21, if you want to stop by and say “hi”.
