Guidelines for Volunteers:
We want volunteering for Just Between Friends to be a fun experience and something that is a privilege. Remember, you are shopping before the general public and you will be getting first pick from the best of the best! There are several ways to help. Volunteers will handle crowd control, security, de-tagging, straightening, re-hanging, reorganizing, runners, closing organization and breakdown. (volunteers working the last shift may leave early when we are finished and still get credit for their complete shift) Bring any food or drink you might need during your shift. No Children Please.
Additional Volunteer Opportunities Printing and passing our flyers You can print 100 copies of our flyer on colored paper, cut them in half for a total of 200 flyers. Deliver or pass out the flyers to local schools, daycares, neighbors, kid's activity events or place them on car windows at stores and events. 200 flyers = 2 hours of volunteer credit. Select PRINTABLE INFORMATION to print a copy of the sale flyer. Please print 100 black and white copies of the flyer on colored paper, cut in 1/2 and distribute (total 200 flyers). Reminder Phone Calls We need to contact as many people as possible to remind them about the JBF event. We will provide you with 100 names and numbers to call and remind them of the upcoming event. Leave a nice message or note if the numbers are no longer valid. 100 calls = 2 hours of volunteer credit. Sign up for this option and we will email the phone list to you a few weeks before the sale. Calls must be completed before the sale opens. Barter Opportunities There are a number of items needed to run a great sale. You can sign up to purchase some of these items and earn Volunteer credit for doing so. Check out the Volunteer Scheduler for details on Barter options.

Sorting & Breakdown:
All consignors that wish to pick up unsold items are required to assist with a 2 hour Breakdown Help shift. Sign up online for your 2 hour shift. Breakdown Help shifts do not qualify for the Volunteer Presale program; however, we do have Breakdown Team Leader positions available from 1pm to 6pm, where you can earn 5 presale hours. We need 5 strong men to work the late shift at breakdown to help breakdown tables, racks and load the truck. This is a DOUBLE CREDIT shift. He works 5 hours and YOU get 10 presale credit hours! The shift goes from 6pm to 11pm. We will allow you to load your own items during this working shift. (volunteers ONLY may leave the last shift early when we are finished organizing and take their unsold items, however, NOT BEFORE, SORRY NO EXCEPTIONS)
Cancelling your shift:
If a consignor does not show up for their shift(s) they will not only lose their incentive commission percentage but their commission will drop to 40%. It is VERY important that volunteers be responsible for their shifts. If you are unable to work for any reason, please find a replacement. If you have an EMERGENCY, please notify Shannon at 916.718.6897 or Shamberlee at 706.201.6173. We implemented this volunteer policy in order to prevent people from taking advantage of the early shopping benefits, then failing to work their scheduled shift. This policy allows us to attract only those who are responsible and dependable. Please be aware that we do not offer childcare for volunteers. Thank you for all your support at the sale! |
