2009 International Festival Outreach Opportunities!!

HPL will have a strong presence at this annual downtown Houston event and we are looking for a few good employees to cover the outreach tables.

All participants in this outreach event will have free access to the festival!

The festival itself is open from 12 – 10 Saturdays and 12 – 9 Sundays and you can enjoy the festival before and/or after working your 2-hour shift at the outreach table. Participants will be given a parking pass and free admission to the festival, but all non-employees will need to purchase admission tickets. Please make arrangements for the care of your children during your shift in order to keep the outreach area safe and professional. Make sure you bring a comfortable pair of shoes, as this event won’t be a sit-down affair. Expect to be so busy your 2-hour shift is over before you know it!

Here is a link to the International Festival site for more information:

Slots will be filled on a limited first-come, first-served basis. While we encourage you to sign up for as many slots as you’d like, we may have to limit the number each person can have in order to give as many people as possible the chance to earn some of those important outreach EPE credits (and get free access to the festival!)

Here is the current availability:

Saturday, 4/18 (# of slots available in parenthesis)
12 – 2 (4)
2 – 4 (4)
4 – 6 (4)

Please get approval from your supervisor first, then send me an e-mail indicating your interest and the shift(s) you would like to work. I will respond to work out a scheduled time with you.

If you have any questions regarding the International Festival outreach events, please direct them to me and I will respond as soon as possible.


Thanks!
