Volunteer Notification

The following are the main responsibilities of the bar manager:

• prepare a schedule of bartenders and ensure they are showing up for their shifts
• train bar tenders on deposit procedures, lock up procedures and how to use the till
• reconcile inventory with receipts and deposit slips
• ensure stock is ordered, paid for, and picked up
• ensure staff shirts are accounted for and washed as needed

The bar manager DOES NOT have to:

• be the sole bartender — no one expects one person to always commit to being behind the bar
• do all the tasks on the above list without help — the tasks above are what the bar manager has to ensure are being done.  This does not mean they have to do them all themselves.  Similar scenario — Tom Toma is in charge of making sure the land is taken care of but he is NOT EXPECTED to do it all by himself.  He is EXPECTED to organize people to do it and make sure it is being done properly.
• organize the banquet — there will be a banquet committee with whom the bar manager will work

There has been a procedure developed for things such as inventory, stock purchasing, and deposits that has been approved by the board and will be discussed with any of the interested parties.  Any interested individuals are to submit an email to Kady Martin at ktowns@ualberta.ca. This email should include a small statement describing your skills and how you think you will be able to handle such a commitment to the club.  Depending on the applicants, there is the possibility of job sharing — individuals who are interested in job sharing would need to explain how they plan to divide the work and what their organizational system would look like.  Please submit your emails by November 30th, 2011.

The job itself requires 15 volunteers for the hours of 8:00 AM – 9:30 PM.  Depending upon the availability of the applicants, there is the possibility of working an early shift or a late shift, although participants are more than welcome to volunteer for the full event — this will be decided by the volunteer coordinator once all volunteers have been found.  All hours count towards your volunteer commitment to the club.  The security detail will primarily include ensuring safety of the guests and volunteers, and controlling access at the entrance and exits.  All applicants must be comfortable being authoritative and maintain a professional attitude and manner throughout the event.  There will be a crowd of over 5000 people throughout the day so it is important that applicants take this job seriously, as it is substantially larger than any security events the Pirates have done in the recent past.  Applicants will be able to order (and hopefully keep) a Security T-shirt in their size if they volunteer before the end of November — late applicants will get a general size.

**WE ARE STILL SHORT AT LEAST 6 VOLUNTEERS FOR THE EARLY SHIFT (8AM TO 5 PM) AND REQUIRE AT LEAST 3 MORE MALE VOLUNTEERS FOR THE LATE SHIFT (5 PM TO 9:30 PM). ** This will help alleviate the need for individuals to work all day.

**Many companies offer paid time off for charitable work — if you require a personalized letter that details the work you will be doing, these are available upon request.**

If this is an event you are interested, please message our volunteer coordinator for the event, Scott Poirier as well as CC your reps (see contact info below).  Please include the following in your email:
- Shift availability (8 AM – 5 PM, 5 PM – 9:30 PM, or both)
- T- shirt size
- any special skills you may have that make you a suitable candidate (examples, experience working security or volunteering for large events with similar expectations of attitude and manner)
