A Note on Flexibility
As we finalize event logistics, some volunteer assignments may shift. We will make every effort to place volunteers in their selected roles, but volunteers may be asked to assist in another area or transition to a different assignment during the evening. We appreciate everyone’s flexibility, teamwork, and willingness to help wherever needed.
