Local & Out-of-Towner Volunteers Needed!

Nancy Groves and I, as conference co-chairs, would love to hear from you about the conference. Several local San Diego Bromeliad Society members have volunteered for key committees: Robert Kopstein (plant show chair); Scott Sandel or Morlane O’Donnell (plant sales co-chairs); Ed Doherty (speakers committee chair); George Long (exhibits & displays chair); Stephen Zolezzi (food & beverage chair). In addition, I have a running list of locals and out-of-towners who have said that they will volunteer for as-needed jobs during event week. We are off to a great start, but we would love for some others to help make this a success.

Are you out of town and interested in being a part?

If you are from another Southern California affiliated bromeliad society, or even if you hail from far away, your volunteer help could contribute to make the 2018 World Conference in San Diego a success. Maybe your local society would like to put together an exhibit? Are you able to help with a small task that can be done long-distance? I have started a list of some things that could easily be accomplished long-distance. Feel free to contact me [Scott] at Scott.Sandel@outlook.com if you want to hear more! Here is the list:​

• Organizing publicity with your local BSI affiliate chapter
• Getting donations for conference attendee Welcome Bags
• Staff the Registration/Welcome Center Desk during the event
• Provide staffing for one of the bus tours, such as the Full-Day Tour to San Diego Botanical Gardens, or one of the Home Tours
• Sign up for a security shift during one of the days at the show or sale

I hope to hear from you! Hit the Sign-up link.
