Show your true color! Come and be a part of the 2008 Browncoat Ball, held in Austin at the Downtown Omni, October 10-12, 2008. We need some awesome volunteers for various areas and activities such as registration, merchandising, hospitality, phone hotline and crafts. You’ll get to meet fellow Browncoats from around our verse, or at least North America.

Visit www.browncoatball.com for more information about this event and contact brenda@austinbrowncoats.com if you’d like to be on the volunteer list. Volunteer roles are listed below. Be sure to include your name, email address, dates/times you are available to volunteer, as well as your area of interest.

*Registration and Merchandising volunteer* If you are enthusiastic and energetic, this is the team for you! Our registration and merchandising team will greet our attendees, provide information packets, help direct attendees to activities, and ensure every Browncoat leaves with their favorite Browncoat Ball souvenirs.

*Hotline* Are you an Austinite who loves our city? We need some local folks to staff our phone hotline. Attendees may call the hotline for recommendations for local restaurants or where they may seek medical assistance. An information book with local resources will be in the hospitality suite to assist hotline volunteers.

*Hospitality* There’s no group in the ‘verse more hospitable than Browncoats, but we’re looking for a special crew to make our fellow Browncoats feel welcome and to assist us with the Hospitality Suite. We’ll need help dispensing our supply of yummy vittles and of course there will be plenty of opportunities to chat folks up while they hang out in our own version of Inara’s Starboard Shuttle. Sound interesting? Do your duty and join the Hospitality team!

*Craft volunteers* Are you crafty and proud of it? Are you great with a glue gun and stupendous at stamping? Well c’mon out and lend your hand to our Cocktails and Crafts event. We need a few folks to help out with the craft tables to monitor supplies, provide input and ideas to fellow Browncoats and provide a welcoming and fun atmosphere. The time commitment is minimal (Friday night only) but the rewards are helping folks make individualized and unique mementos and items to take home with them.

*Floaters* Floaters are “on-call” volunteers. Should any of our volunteer teams be overwhelmed, we will call these Big Damn Heroes to come to our rescue. During their scheduled on-call times, the floater must remain within the hotel.
