Tall Ships -- Bay City, MI -- July 15-18, 2010
[Bay City, MI] When the American Sail Training Association Tall Ship fleet arrives in Bay City on July 15th,volunteers will spring into action catching lines, carefully maneuvering ships into their pre-assigned docking spaces and working with crew to make sure the vessels are secure and ready to receive guests the following morning.
These volunteers provide an important service, but represent just one of several different tasks to be filled by area volunteers."Tall Ship Celebration: Bay City has been extremely fortunate to have the support of 400 to 500 volunteers for each of the earlier events in 2001, 2003 and 2006," explained Volunteer Coordinator Gary VanHoogstraten. "We are counting on their generosity and enthusiasm again to make the 2010 event a smooth running success."
"Volunteers are needed for positions ranging from taking tickets to managing parking lots, and from assisting guests on ships to assisting children with craft activities.
A list of volunteer tasks and a Volunteer Application Formcan be found on the festival's website www.tallshipcelebration.com.
