HAVE CAR, WILL TRAVEL?
We are always in need of volunteers who can assist the Festival in many unique ways.
We are currently looking for Volunteers who can pick up and help distribute Festival Guides throughout the County. We will begin the morning of Thursday February 21st.
We are also looking for a few Volunteers to deliver the filmmaker’s and VIP’s swag bags to their hotels. Swag bags are a wonderful collection of local products, wine and local information to welcome our guests to SLO county. We need drivers between Monday and Wednesday March 4th to 6th.
If you can assist in these positions, please email sloiffvol@yahoo.com ASAP and please put the words I CAN DRIVE in the subject. Thank you!
HAVE DISHWASHER…WILL TRADE FOR FILM?
Not exactly, but I got your attention! During the Festival, we often have a quick turn around on event supplies. We are in need of a volunteer, located in San Luis Obispo, who could wash our wine glasses and/or tablecloths in 1 days time. Sounds intriguing doesn’t it? If you can assist in these positions, please email sloiffvol@yahoo.com ASAP and please put the words I CAN WASH in the subject. Thank you!
Remember: All Volunteer opportunities are eligible for Screening Passes for our regular films throughout the Festival.
