One of our best volunteer's was sent our way by Mert Auger. This volunteer is a retiree who was looking for something to do in his spaze time. So faz he has run camera on 12 productions all over our commission area. Volunteer Retention: We recognize that our volunteers are valuable resources and we do everything we canto make their experience fun, safe and comfortable. We provide them with food, snacks and a full cooler of drinks. We also stock instant heat pads and extra sets of hats and gloves for cold weather productions. We aze currently in the planning stages of a volunteer appreciation night. We are trying to secure an evening at the Monticello Community Center gym where we can honor our volunteers with a small recognition ceremony and activities including a volunteer picked movie on our indoor screen! Commissioners will be invited to attend We keep a log of all our volunteer hours along with their contact information. In our website design we have incorporated a volunteer recruitment section that will detail all our upcoming productions along with a signup for volunteer opportunities. How Commissioners can help: We aze also in the process of setting up volunteer exchanges with United Way and other organizations that were referred to us by city staff and one of our own commissioners. Nancy Cazswell of Rockford sent us information about the Senior Services Program and Jake Pace of Elk River sent us the information about the United Way. Our commissioners aze in a unique position to know many resources in our member communities. If you know of anyone who might be interested in volunteering please let us know. Hockey Night Live! We aze planning our first Girls hockey shoot on Tuesday November 15~' at 7pm with a game between Delano and Buffalo at the Buffalo Ice Arena. Rick Todd of Leightronix is flying into town to help us setup a live shoot linking the PEG Vault in our trailer with the City of Buffalo's BWIG system. Once our azea wide channel is operational we will be able to offer games like this commission wide. Community Education Class We have been invited to teach a Big Lake community education class on video production. We have structured the class so that the students learn how to work at all the positions on a remote shoot. The final class projects are the taping of 2 different high school basketball games. I have attached the class schedule and information. We are hoping this creates many future volunteers.
