something you cannot follow, regardless of the reason, feel free to de-roster from the booth support. We don't want to have to put our admin staff in a position of asking people to put on their
mask or to have to leave.

WHAT WE HAVE - Rose City gave us a 20x20 booth this year. The convention is having to do extra spacing for social distancing and it has
decreased our space.
- Booth #667 (floor map below)
WHAT WE ARE DOING - With the limited space, we will be focusing our efforts on larger raffle display to help with donations for charity.
- We will have the cantina, a backdrop for photo ops, the raffle display, and informational area.
- The exact layout is still being constructed.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU/HOW TO SIGNUP FOR A SHIFT - Help staff the booth! Here is the link for signups:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AEfj6K4cZE0xr-LgyUUijkcwXmzP0_MtyJHIpsfHICg/edit?usp=sharing - Anything in green that doesn't already have a name listed is open for signup.
- Try not to exceed more than 2 hours in a row. We need you to be present for your entire shift. Don’t schedule yourself for 4 hours straight if you know you’re going to have to eat, drink, or pee
at some point in that 4-hour stretch.
- All booth support shifts must be completed in 1-hour increments. You’re likely going to be on your feet the whole time; plan breaks accordingly. Expect to be at the booth for the entirety of your
shift--show up early to check-in and find out which space you’ll work in, and don’t expect to leave early.
- Please don't schedule a costume and booth staff back-to-back (I will have to message you and ask which one you prefer) as there isn't a way to get in/out of costume that fast (unless you are a
face character! Then you are good to go in any spot
- When you post your signup hours, please say if you have or need a ticket....thank you!
A bit about each role in the booth.
Please note: we may need to shift booth roles during a shift to cover any gaps. - Info Table: Actively greet and interact with guests who stop by the booth. Field general questions about who we are, what we do, fundraising for our partnered charity, what’s happening at the
booth, how to become a member, etc.
- Photo Ops Support: Help guide the line when the next group is ready to enter the photo op area. Help take photos with the guest's phones.
- Line Control/Donations: Staff an assigned area of the booth. Be a spotter for the prop(s) and any costumers who might be present in your assigned area. Actively promote our fundraising for
our partnered charity. Collect donations or direct visitors to donation bins.
- Raffle Table: Sell raffle tickets. Explain raffle to guests and answer any questions. Help coordinate raffle drawings. Maintain the neatness and security of the raffle area. Be comfortable with
handling cash, calculating total and change amounts in your head, and handling electronic payments methods (Square reader).
- Cantina Support: Ensure safety of the props and help take photos with the guest's camera.
WHAT ABOUT SETUP AND TEARDOWN? - We will be setting up on Thursday (Time unknown) and tearing down Sunday after the con ends (5pm). Daily booth setup and cleanup will happen before and after con hours on Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday.

The following days and times could really use some help.
