New Mardi Gras
Good at looking after crowd barricades?
Good at keeping crowds moving?
Do you like doing jobs - for the cause with little reward
Finale Official
The 2008 Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras relies very heavily on volunteers on Parade night.
One area that we always require additional people is our Finale area.The volunteers for this area need to be unique people - willing to help us secure an area of which you don`t get to view the Parade in all its glory. Instead its a vital role of keeping the general public out and our Float/Parade participants moving along.
Finale is where the floats disembark and everyone says goodbye.
We need people who can help guide vehicles (floats), and people so that everyone gets through the finish line safely, and still in good spirits.
Are you this person?
Will you volunteer for us?
If so - we`ll give you a half-price ticket to the After Party held at Fox Studios, and all the praise that we can muster. There`ll also be a Thank You Function that you`ll receive an invitation for. If you`re keen to help us - please email: volunteers@mardigras.org.au with FINALE OFFICIAL in your subject line.
