URGENT! More help needed for Elvis Festival

Parkes Champion Post
December 31, 2008

The CountryLink Parkes Elvis Festival organisers are still looking for more volunteers to help run the Festival next week.
The organising committee needs more than 150 volunteers to pull off the Festival but the target hasn't been reached yet.

Festival volunteers are vital to the success of the festival; they help committee members run their events and provide extra hands to deliver a smooth running festival.

Volunteers are needed to help with many areas of the festival program including:

* Selling programs,

* Helping to load luggage onto coaches at the train station,

* Selling merchandise at Elvis Central Store,

* Coordinating the arrival of market stalls,

* Helping to run Cooke Park competitions,

* Street parade marshalling,

* Manning the admission desk at The King's Castle - Elvis Collection.

A volunteer briefing will be held next Monday (5 January) at 6pm at the PCYC in Pearce Street where volunteers can learn more about the festival, view the volunteer roster, find out more about their roles and collect their Coca Cola t-shirts and hats.

You don't need to have already registered to be a volunteer to attend - new volunteers can register on the night.

"It’s a great way to get involved and enjoy the festival," Ellie Ruffoni, Festival Coordinator, said yesterday.

"If you can spare just a few hours to help out, please consider being a volunteer. We can't do it without you!"

Volunteer registration forms can be picked up from the Parkes Visitor Information Centre, downloaded from www.parkeselvisfestival. com.au or completed at the volunteer briefing on 5 January, PCYC 6pm.
