VOLUNTEER WORK ON SATURDAY, April 14
4 p.m. to 6 p.m., we will need some

up their areas ahead of time in the small Gym in Physical Education
Building. In addition, we must put up Science Day signs throughout the

VOLUNTEER WORK ON SUNDAY, April 15
Volunteers must report to the Event
Central tables in the front of the Gym for assignment and training.
10 a.m. to Noon, we have
several assignments:
Helping the exhibitors unload equipment
and set up their exhibits.
Placing additional directional and
instructional signs all over the campus.
Distributing Programs to other buildings
and sites being used for Science Day - Science West, Theater Arts, the Small Gym, and
the Campus Center.
Noon to 4 p.m.
Distributing stickers to all attendees.
Volunteers are needed to stand at major entrances of all buildings being
used and offer people sticker labels featuring the seal of the Rockville
Consortium for Science. We pre-count the number of stickers on a roll,
volunteers are given groups stickers, and told to save the empty backings.
These empty sheets serve as a guide to a general count of the number of
people who attend. Volunteers are encouraged to offer a sticker to anyone
they spot on the campus without a sticker.
Substituting for exhibitors as needed.
Volunteers should offer to spell an exhibitor for a break as needed.
Some volunteers will be assigned to an exhibit for the whole day. It is advisable to learn something about
the exhibit if you are going to sit in. The Kiwanis may need help with food sales and
distribution.
4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
At 5 p.m. the show closes and the
volunteers will need to assist the exhibitors pack up and get their
materials and equipment to their cars.
NOTES:
Rockville Science Day is sponsored by the
City of Rockville, and therefore, is an event that can be used for community
service credit for the Montgomery County Schools. Just bring your forms with
you and we will process them on site.
Volunteers must register at the
information desk in the small Gym upon arrival. Ask our volunteer
contact, Phyllis Marcuccio, for assignments. We will provide you with a
T-shirt and a badge.
The Rockville Consortium for Science, Inc. is
