Happy Volunteers Make for a Seamless Event

In a little over four months, The Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center will be a kaleidoscope of color and texture. Quilters from all over the country will be in Madison to view the quilt contest exhibit, take part in educational workshops and presentations, and to shop the vendor mall.

Volunteers are needed to help staff various areas. Positions include entry guides, information and registration desk staff, ticket sellers, quilt exhibit docents, package checkers, presentation stage assistants and more.

I encourage you to volunteer for a shift. It’s fun as well as a rewarding experience that comes with benefits. All volunteers receive a parking pass and admission for the day of their shift. Wednesday pre-show, set-up volunteers will receive a one-day pass for a return visit.

To receive information about volunteering at Quilt Expo, visit wpt.org/development/quiltexpo/ on the Web and fill in the contact box. A sign-up form will be available there in July.
