So you've volunteered to staff one of our community tables? What now?!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! This group is run by volunteers like you! Every little way you can help... helps. We've already raised over $4,000 just through TABLING alone!

Here's the basic outline of what you do at the tabling events:

You are helping to:

1. Spread community awareness of the museum situation and ask for community support for the future sustainability of the museum

2. Accept pledges in support of the museum:
* People can either fill out the pledge form and leave it with you, or they can pledge electronically online.

3. Hand out the flyer with our blog and web address on it
* They can check out the information, sign up for volunteering, write a letter to the editor, pledge online, or so that they can hang the flyer up at their place of work, etc.

4. Have people write their name and contact information on the email list if they are interested in volunteering.
* We can use volunteers at places like the Wildberries Table, K-12 outreach, and much more.

5. Let people know that we are interested in any support ideas they have for the future of the museum:
* The main idea is that we hope to really leverage all the great community support we are currently receiving to help us sustain the museum in the long term.
* So all the great ideas we are receiving we would love to utilize our community contacts not just right now, but also in the future as the museum will continue to need these ideas if it stays open.

Tables, Tables, Tables oh My!

We now have a table set up at Wildberries Marketplace. It features flyers and information about saving the Natural History Museum. We'll be there daily and even if there is nobody sitting behind the table feel free to stop by and pick up a flyer.

If you would like to volunteer to STAFF the table during any part of the day please contact us and we can get you scheduled. Bring your lunch and sit back.

We also will have a table this Saturday at the Farmer's Market in Arcata and there after. Please come by this Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and participate in our March Around the Plaza. Bring your costumes and get excited about raising money for the museum.

If you'd like to volunteer to spend a Saturday at the Farmer's Market table -- email us and we'll get you scheduled.

It's just another way to get information out and help people get information about what we're doing to save the museum.

We need volunteers!
