Volunteers Needed for CVM Booth at RodeoHouston
RodeoHouston season has arrived, and the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM) will once again host a booth at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo (HLSR).
Faculty and staff volunteers can assist by handing out promotional materials and answering questions from guests during shifts from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and from 3:30-9 p.m. on Feb. 27 through March 18. Volunteers will be paired for each shift, as HLSR rules require the booth to be occupied during exhibit hours.
A meeting will be held on Feb. 13 at 3:30 p.m. in the Mark Francis Room (VENI Building Room 311), during which volunteers will receive instructions, including information on procedures, display information, literature and travel voucher information. Attendance is required.
Volunteers should wear black slacks, khaki slacks, or dark-colored jeans without holes or tears, and a CVM shirt during HLSR shifts. For those who do not have a CVM shirt, arrangements have been made with the CVM Marketplace to offer a $30 voucher to assist in the purchase of a CVM shirt. When requesting your shift, please include any voucher requests, as well.
Shifts will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis and will need prior approval from the volunteer’s department head or supervisor.
To sign up, email Stephanie Hollis with the date(s) and shift(s) you prefer, as well as a cell phone number.
