The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra is hosting a music
festival
in Mears Park September! The festival will feature
performances by the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra as well as
the best jazz, rock, and folk musicians in the Twin Cities.

Because these are big name acts and because the festival is
free, we anticipate a very large number of people to
attend.

Volunteers will be primarily responsible for being visible
and for giving out information. The number one question
will probably be "Where are the restrooms?"
followed by "What's going on here?"
Volunteers will also be available to tell people where to
go
for help, how to find lost family members, lost cell phones
and keys, and when the next band will be starting.

All we ask of our volunteers is that they be energetic and
approachable. They are the first point of contact between
anyone attending the event and our organization - we need
well-informed, enthusiastic people in order to make this
festival happen.

The dress is casual, capris are fine.

The Saint Paul Classic Bike Tour was created to help draw
attention to the Grand Round in Saint Paul- a series of
bikeways that encircle the city. The 2007 event featured
nearly 7,000 cyclists participating in the casual,
family-friendly ride around the city.

Volunteers will help National Park Rangers pass out food
and drinks from a tent to cyclists at the first rest stop
on the Tour. A great opportunity to talk to other
volunteers and cyclists.

Volunteers receive a FREE Saint Paul Classic Bike Tour
t-shirt!!
