Volunteer Duties

SDFWA MEMBER VOLUNTEERS at DESIGN IN WOOD


FLOOR AMBASSADORS:

Volunteering to work on the gallery floor is an extremely rewarding experience. This is a great chance to represent your association and at the same time provide some very important help with the exhibit.

As a floor ambassador you have the chance to greet the public and provide a special level of protection and security for all the beautiful pieces on exhibit. You will answer questions from the public concerning the exhibit, the display and woodworking in general.

You won't be alone. You don't need any special training. You will be helping our exhibit staff and they will provide you guidance. When you sign up for a floor position, you will receive two (2) free passes for each shift, one of which you need to enter the fairgrounds for your shift. Sign up for several shifts and get enough passes for family and friends.


19TH CENTURY CHAIR SHOP VOLUNTEERS:

Volunteers who sign up to help in the chair shop always say that they wish they had signed up for more shifts.

Here again you get to meet the public and tell them about our great organization. You will get use hand tools most people don't even own. You will be instructed by our qualified expert chair shop masters. By signing up to help in the shop you will be making it possible to donate fifty (50) children's chairs to needy children throughout the County of San Diego. You will help make these beautiful chairs by shaping the parts and, at the same time, demonstrate techniques most people in the general public have never seen.

No special knowledge is required. The shop masters will show you how to do each step and soon you will be sharing it with someone else. This is a great woodworking experience.

Sign up and receive two (2) free passes to the Fair for each shift.
