Letter of Appreciation

Dear Volunteer,

The 3rd Annual Vero Beach Book Festival will soon be here. Here are the times and locations for which we need your help:

October 15 – 30: Distribute Book Festivals posters to businesses and organizations who will display

Sunday, November 11: Place road signs at designated intersections

Saturday, November 17:

  • The Festival Marketplace (set up 6:30; Marketplace open 9-5; take down 5-7)
    • Local Author’s Alley
    • Kids’ Street
    • Food Court and Entertainment
    • Exhibitors
    • Book Festival Information Booth
    • Book Festival Merchandise Booth
  • Author Presentations – 10:00 – 5:00 at the following venues
    • Community Center (2 venues)
    • Heritage Center
    • Courthouse Executive Center
    • Theatre Plaza
    • Woman’s Club

Sunday, November 18: remove road signs from designated intersections

The Festival cannot run without you! We need volunteers to help us get out the word about the Book Festival by distributing Festival posters, and placing and removing Festival road signs. We also need volunteers to work shifts on Saturday, November 17 in both the Marketplace and in the Author Presentation Venues. Each volunteer will receive a Book Festival apron that should be worn while you are volunteering.

The Vero Beach Book Festival is a rain or shine event. The budget and authors’ schedules do not allow us to have a rain date. If you are volunteering on Saturday, you need to arrive at the Book Festival Information Booth in the Marketplace 30 minutes before you are scheduled to begin work. Please keep in mind that additional time will be needed for parking and walking to the Booth. If volunteer to do Poster Distribution or Road Sign Placing, you will be informed of the meeting place.

Thank you so much for your support of the Book Festival. I look forward to working with you.
