Volunteer Meetings

The Coordinator, Manager and Volunteer meeting will be held on January 29th at 1:00pm at the Doubletree Hotel, Campbell Center - the Gold Towers. That's the host hotel, on the east side of US75 between NW Highway and Caruth.

The usual format is to review operational details with Coordinators and Managers between 1:00pm and 2:00pm and for volunteers to signup for work shifts between 2:00pm and 3:00pm.

However, there are no secrets in NTIF, so if you all want to show up at 1:00pm and listen to Marsha, Sheri, myself and others talk about the positionioning of beer booths, product sales, horses, archery contests and the like, then come on down.

This is more of a a "pep rally", but with some business issues on the side. The bar will be open, and you can come eat brunch with us around noon if you wish! New volunteers, not so new volunteers - all are welcome. Come on down and start the party!

TABC Alcohol Server Permit

All volunteers wishing to serve beer or pour whickey at the tasting must attend a TABC Certification class and pass the test at the end of the class. We have confirmed February 19th for the TABC class to be held in the Campbell III meeting room at the Doubletree Hotel, Campbell Ccenter.  The instructor will arrive about 12:30 pm and students are advised to arrive 15 minutes early to check in. The class should start promptly at 1:00 pm and will last to nearly 5:00 pm. The class is limited to 50 students so they are asked to sign up with the .

Alternatively, if you live out of Dallas you can attend any TABSS certified class by going online to the TABSS web site. The class may also be taken online - Learn2Serve - TABC Seller/Server Training.

Volunteer Orientation

Volunteer orientation sessions will be held for all Stage Managers, Drivers and Admissions staff in early February. These orientation meetings are designed to give new, and returning volunteers, more information on their specific duties. We have great volunteers, but we have learned from many people that we do tend to throw people into a job and expect them to learn things like how to operate credit card machines, how to set up a stage between bands and how to navigate vans through Fair Park and DFW airport.

So, this year we will hold an Orientation Day on February 12th at 1:00pm at our offices at 2528 Elm, Dallas. That's just one block east of I45, but it's a one way street, so use your GPS or Google Maps to locate us. We have plenty of space, so all orientation will happen at the same time.

In addition we will have our usual TABC training for Beer staff at the Doubletree or online at the TABSS web site.

All orientation meetings are paid for by NTIF. You just have to get there!
