Hey Denver peeps!Flobots.org is once again one of two beneficiaries of the Westword Music Showcase, which takes place Saturday, June 19 from 11 am to 10 pm in the Golden Triangle neighborhood. Details: www.westword.com.Non-profit organizations are often asked to sell beer at special events that happened outside of traditional venues, such as the Taste of Colorado, Cherry Creek Arts Festival. It’s a way for a non-profit to generate some income. We need the help right now in order to keep our programs going and growing throughout the year.This year we will be responsible for just one area, so it will be a lot less crazy than last year! Can you carve out a couple of hours to help? This is a fun and easy way to generate some much-needed support for Flobots.org's programs.We would love your help, and you won't spend the whole day covered in beer – we swear!For those under 21, we could really use your help at the soda stand.Details:1.) Shifts are in 2-4 hour blocks from 11 am 10 pm. The busiest times will be from 4-8 pm.2.) A portion of proceeds from beer and ticket sales, and all tips, will be donated to Flobots.org. Coors is the title sponsor of the event, and it’s their beer that will be sold.3.) We'll responsible for just one bar, which won't be directly in front of the main stage.4.) You are asked to arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of their shift, so you can observe how it works and get oriented.5.) Volunteers will receive a wristband that allows access to all venues for those over 21; those under 21 are limited to the main stage area, where Ghostland Observatory, Superchunk, Boombox and others will play. Stay tuned for details on where you can see Bop Skizzum, AndyRok’s awesome combo.6.) Your volunteer wristband will also be good for 2-for-1 admission to the Meadowlark Lounge after the Showcase (21 and up.) as well as other goodies.If you can join us, please email laura@flobots.org with:The times you are availableYour ageYour cellphone numberPlease help spread the word, too!
