Last wednesday night, I had a one-hour training session scheduled for the upcoming fashion charity event "Au Coeur de la Mode". This training was mandatory for all volunteers who registered to be sales persons on the actual day of the event, November 15th 2009. The training was basically an informative lecture on the event itself, how to prepare bills for the items being sold and how to package the items. It may sound dumb but they have a very specific method that needs to be respected in order to avoid theft of items or any kind of misappropriation of funds belonging to the Farha Foundation.
They also went through the basic timeline for the day of the event, next sunday :
8am : Arrival and Registration of volunteers
8am to 8:20am : Coffee and Coat check
(Free coffee, juice, cookies. yay!)
8:20am : Meeting with the supervisors
(They will assign me to a boutique / kiosk for the day)
8:40am to 9am : Meeting with the boutique / kiosk people
(i.e. the people I will work directly with all day)
9am to 10am : Pre-sale for VIPS and volunteers
(Woah. That's the life!)
10am : Sale opens to the public
11:30am : Lunch rotations begin
(Free food. yay!)
5:00pm : Closing time
(and then the dismantling begins.)
I will also be volunteering all day saturday, November 14th 2009, to help prepare everything (tables, chairs, clothing display, etc.) for 8am until .. somewhere in the afternoon (no later than 6pm). I decided to expand my hours on saturday to make up for the hours I didn't do on October 31st for the Publicity blitz.
That's it for now, just a little over an hour to add to the logbook :o)
I'll give you a full report after the event, as usual !
Later,
