Have you had the desire in the past to be a volunteer, but were afraid that you might not know enough about the Roundhouse Complex to be able to answer questions or help out other visitors? Well, here's your chance to come out and lend a hand! Saturday & Sunday Aug. 15th and 16th is our 7th annual, signature festival - AG/RAIL 2009. This year we are expecting over 4000 people to visit the site over the two days and extra assistance is needed to help us pull this off. We have a varitiy of position openings ranging from ticket booth attendants for the main gate and motor car rides, parking lot attendants, phone receptionist, to Docents and Tour Guides just to name a few. You don't even have to work a full day! We split up our shifts into two hour intervals so you can work a varity of positions or just work one shift and play the rest of the day! If you would like to assist or want more information please drop us an e-mail at shra@cableone.net . There will also be orientation training on Saturday, Aug 8th at 1:30 pm to get you aquainted with the complex and other volunteers. You'll be given a personel tour by our staff to fill you in on the history behind all the buildings and rolling stock to make you more comfortable talking with our guests.
Drop us line and come on down to lend a hand! You won't beleive how many smiles you can put on peoples faces - you'll be glad you did!
