The real key to getting volunteers is treating them right.
1. Food must be plentiful and high-quality. And volunteers must be assured they have the time to enjoy it. For a Friday night/Sat/Sun event, volunteers get 3* dinners, 2 lunches and 2 breakfasts. (*3rd, on Sunday, if you help break down the field). Plus soft drinks all day... |
Thankfully there will not be a district at the GWCC. Food was not the best. Perry is the right size & place geographically, but Albany & Columbus both have very supportive teams.
Georgia First Volunteers also heavily support the Knoxville regional and presumably the inaugural Alabama Regional.
