Benton County Fair FUNDRAISER - Volunteers needed!
Members!
We have been given the opportunity to do a fundraiser by sitting and manning the gate at the Benton County Fair!
Philomath Gleaners day is August 3rd. We have multiple slots open all day long. This is a super easy fundraiser
that we are hoping to be successful in and be invited back in 2024! We could use the funds to help support our
food needs with our program!
The first shift is super important in getting the training to pass on to the volunteers the rest of the day.
The first trainers will train the next and so on. Training starts at 7:30 at the
Orange Gate (West entrance). There will be a 10x10 tent at each gate for volunteers.
Map of the grounds will come later - closer to the event date!

Lead Crew Schedules:
Members: This is information that might be helpful for you with regard to volunteering or knowing who is the lead for each day.
This schedule is for leaders to know the schedule and that if you are not set as a lead, you are not to be at the site. This is to help with leader burnout. Burnout as a volunteer is a real thing and each person is a valuable member of our community.
