HOW TO VOLUNTEER
************************************************************
******
Nightly Volunteers: 924 Gilman is always in need of nightly volunteers to run each show. If you want to volunteer to work for a show and get in free, arrive an hour before the doors open (generally 7pm for Friday and Saturday shows and 5pm for Sunday shows.) When you arrive ask around for the coordinator of the show for the night (they are usually found in the side office near the front door of the club.) There are several different jobs available, from assisting running the front door to cleaning up after the show is over. In addition to getting to see how the club works on a nightly basis, you also get to watch the show for free while only working either the first or second half of the performance.
Monthly Membership Meetings: 924 Gilman has membership meetings twice a month at 5pm on the first and third Saturday of the month. Membership meetings are where the majority of the clubs decisions are made. At the first meeting you come to you can participate in the discussion, but are not able to vote on any items brought up until your second meeting. Meetings are generally attended by a lot of the people who are regular volunteers at 924 Gilman and are a great opportunity to ask for more detailed information about volunteering.
