I'm available as a general volunteer for Saturday if you still need people to help wrangle (or greet people, or pour coffee or......). 

Can you please let me know if you'd like help.  Thanks.

I would love to get involved and being a volunteer if there have any events this year.

It's awfully quiet in here. Just wondering where things are at with organizing this year's event. What can I help with? Are there enough volunteers to make this happen this year?

HELP-PORTRAIT VICTORIA 2011 ... shooting location is at 

The Salvation Army Chapel, 525 Johnson Street

Saturday, December 10 from 9:00am to 9:00pm 

Comment by Loren Greig on October 31, 2011 at 1:30pm

Hi Everyone, 

I just want to keep you all updated with the information that's been coming to me and what's been happening from my end regarding the shooting space... got official confirmation on Friday for The Salvation Army Chapel - from 8:00am on December 10. We're covered for the 9:00PM closing time that was set at Thursday's meeting.

Children: SA houses a federal rehabilitation centre. There's no access beyond the lobby for non-residents. Children 18 and under are permitted in the chapel and cafeteria only ...special exception has been made for them to be in the building that day. We've been asked to supervise the children in both areas. Rotational volunteering is needed here.

Entry:  It's best to use the doors that directly access the chapel and not have people enter from the lobby. 

Food: The Kitchen Manager has graciously offered to prepare and serve hot drinks, sandwiches and pastries for most of the day, including the hot chocolate from Discovery Coffee. It would be great if we can get other food donations to help out as well. Does anyone have a special pastry shop that would love to help out with some goods?

Washrooms: in the front lobby; available for our guests. There are separate WCs available for photographers

Volunteers: One Salvation Army volunteer will be working in the cafeteria. They will need volunteers from our group to help out in that area + supervision of children.

Families: I've been mailing and speaking with family service agencies on my list.

So far, we can expect to photograph 200 families, over and above the single people who stop by. That is what the agencies expect, but it's really just an estimated guess. The Salvation Army Family Services will be providing 2,000 families with food hampers this December and they will be telling all the families that come in. That is just one of the family service agencies.

Signs:  We need to post some signs. Who is willing to volunteer to make some 8.5 x 11 directional signs and have them laminated? This is what we need:  (see also "Event Signage+Forms" under Downloads - main HP site)

2 x "Residents Only"

1 x "Washrooms" with an Arrow pointing to the right

4 x "No Entry"

2 x "Portraits" with an Arrow pointing to the right

1 x "Portraits" with an Arrow pointing to the left

10 -  Help-Portrait + Logo (in Event Signage+Forms) 

That's it for now! :D

Hey Alan,

 

I would love to help out again this year. I will contact some hair and makeup people to see if I can bring them on board. Let me know if I can help in any way. (I just came down with that nasty cold this morning so I'm on lockdown for a bit ;)

 

There is a clothing store called Nikki Babie at the top of the Cornell Lot. I'm sure they would have the information on who to reach for that property. The store looks like it is being liquidated so there is a chance we could actually use that space. Perhaps someone could stop by and ask...

Please plan on coming to one of those so we can get as much planned as possible so that the PR gang can get going on it.

Hi Alan,

Paul will head up the editing.
