NETTP Volunteers Needed
Posted September 9th, 2011 by FranLET’S GET BUSY!
There are many opportunities to volunteer at NE Tarrant Tea Party, and many needs to fulfill. Current NETTP Volunteer Needs Include:
Membership/Recruiting Team: If you can help us in our efforts to grow our membership, please contact Jonathan at jstickland@hotmail.com. This may include tasks such as developing a letter, creating ads/flyers/business cards, contacting printers, contacting newspapers and radio stations, writing scripts for robocalls, brainstorming ideas for membership drives, stuffing/stamping envelopes, creating mail lists, etc.
Set-Up Crew and Coordinator: We need to create a team of people who can show up at our meetings early to help set up tables and chairs. This task could be rotated amongst volunteers so that it’s not always the same people. If you would like to volunteer for this team and/or be a coordinator for this team (responsible for scheduling the crew for each meeting), please email Julie at heyjuliesue@gmail.com.
Fundraiser Team/Coordinator: We desperately need people to help us raise funds. If you can coordinate this effort and/or help with this effort, please contact Julie at heyjuliesue@gmail.com
Office Help: If you can help with general office work — making phone calls, typing memos, posting calendar events, making copies, creating documents and merges, sending emails, etc — please contact Julie at heyjuliesue@gmail.com.
Commenters/Post-ers: When an article comes out on the tea party or on a subject of interest to the tea party, we need people to go in and post comments, tweet it, and/or facebook it. This includes articles on our own website. If you can help in this area, contact Fred at fdmccarty3@yahoo.com.
Booth Workers: NETTP tries to get our name out to the public as much as possible. One good way to do this is to set up booths at various events in our communities. If you can help man a booth on occasion, please contact Dennis at dla2of17@charter.net.
Researchers: From time to time we have a particular issue we need to research. It may be info on a city policy or an event or a politician. It ranges from very simple to fairly in-depth. If you enjoy research, please contact Fred at fdmccarty3@yahoo.com
Clean-Up Crew: At the end of each event, our goal is to leave the facility better than it was loaned out to us. One person is assigned the clean-up checklist for each meeting to make sure nothing was missed. Contact John at jvester@mss-scm.com to sign up for this team.
Kitchen Workers: Kitchen volunteers coordinate all food and beverage for our meetings and our potlucks. Bridget schedules these helpers to make sure each event is covered. Email Bridget at bkenbridget@verizon.net.
Greeters and Registrars: These folks welcome people to our meetings, pass out flyers and name tags, sign up new members, and help people find their precinct number. Sally coordinates our greeter volunteers to make sure someone is available at all functions. Contact her at sallysgriggs7@gmail.com.
A/V Team: We need one coordinator and several volunteers to run the audio/visual equipment during our meetings. The coordinator would be responsible for making sure an A/V volunteer is scheduled for each meeting. (This way no one has to attend EVERY meeting). Please email Julie at heyjuliesue@gmail.com if you can be the coordinator and/or a volunteer in this area.
Liaisons: introduce yourself to the assigned elected official, establish a relationship, hold face to face meetings on a quarterly basis (or more frequently as determined necessary), if applicable - attend council/board meetings as often as possible, monitor activity, and report back to the Liaison Coordinator periodically.
Current Liaison Needs:
- State Representative Barbara Nash, District 93
- Haltom City Mayor & Council
- Grapevine/Colleyville ISD
- Tarrant County College Board of Trustees
- Tarrant County Commissioner Precinct 3
- North Central Texas Council of Governments
