  • monthly meetings: September 10, October 15, November 12, December 10, 2008
  • weekly, each Wednesday, starting January 7, 2009

If you are just joining the Committee, please complete a New Member Fact Sheet at your first meeting. Committee members should initial the Committee Roster each meeting and fill in how many volunteer hours you have put in since your last meeting so we can keep your records up-to-date, count your hours toward the minimum 50% attendance, and report our in-kind (volunteer) hours to maximize our grant award potential.

Weekend Volunteers

For those of you who feel being a committee member is not the level of commitment that interests you at this time, and just want to help for at least three hours the weekend of the Festival, you are welcomed as a Festival Weekend Volunteer. Just let the Volunteer chairperson know at a meeting, e-mail mafinfo@melbournearts.org, or call the office (321-722-1964) and let us know how to contact you in February.
