Hellllooooooo everyone!
Thanks again to EVERYONE who participated in the 2010 Calgary Fringe Festival – as artists, volunteers and patrons. We are grateful for your continued support and are very pleased with how the festival went this year. We look forward to many more years of Fringe madness!
We are in the midst of recruiting volunteers to assist us in our major fundraising efforts by participating in our casino event. Your help is needed to make this a success! We need volunteers to help out on the 2 days of the casino event being held Wednesday, September 8 and Thursday, September 9, 2010 at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino – 1000, 11500 – 35 Street SE. This is a great opportunity to help the Calgary Fringe Festival continue to grow and support theatre arts.
Benefits for you:
* You get a free meal from the restaurant/kiosk – one which is likely to be pretty great!
* You can do a lot of people-watching for future character studies (you would not believe the amazing personalities you’ll encounter there to watch and learn from!)
* You can network with other Calgary Fringe peeps/actors and generally kibitz and schmooze and have fun!
* You get a free Calgary Fringe T-Shirt and one free Volunteer Show Pass to any 2011 Calgary Fringe indoor theatre show (oooOOOOooooo!!)
* You get warm fuzzies from assisting the Calgary Fringe with their fundraising efforts, and from helping us meet the numbers we need to ensure the event runs smoothly)
Please (please pretty please with a cherry on top!) take a moment to check your schedule to see if you can assist for one or both days of the casino. There are lots of different positions to fill, so we need lots of different people! For a list and description of available positions, click or follow this link:

Please follow this link for the Casino Volunteer Worker Application form required by Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission:
http://www.aglc.ca/pdf/gaming/gaming_forms/5400.pdf
Please take a moment to fill it out and either e-mail the form to our new Volunteer Co-ordinator, Tami Rothery, at volunteer@calgaryfringe.ca or fax it in at (403) 236-0662.
NOTE: only those applying for General Manager, Alternate General Manager, Banker, Cashier or Count Room Supervisor volunteer positions are required to fill out this form. For all other positions, all you need to bring is a form of picture ID such as a student ID card or driver’s license.
Something to be aware of:
When you are volunteering for a casino event such as this, Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission stresses that our volunteers are NOT permitted to gamble at any time throughout the duration of the two day casino event, and are not allowed to consume alcoholic beverages during their shift(s). This is something mentioned on the website above, but it’s something a many people overlook, so please keep this in mind and forgive our rare but necessary moment of formality!
Please return your completed form to us and/or advise us as to what position you would like to volunteer for and during what shift as soon as possible! You can email it to volunteer@calgaryfringe.ca.
Thank you in advance for your continued support of the Calgary Fringe Festival!
