The volunteer orientation session has been rescheduled to Thurs, June 13 at 7pm at the Carrot.

Knitting will resume on June 26.

We are looking for 6-10 volunteers willing to commit to assisting us in running our flagship charity event. This commitment will consist of attending one volunteer orientation meeting, assisting with the public poster campaign the week prior to the event and assisting with our live and silent auctions at the event. Volunteering for the CSTS team will ensure you meet (& possibly exceed) your annual volunteer requirements if you are a registered member of the Alberta Browncoats Society.

Not a registered member? No worries. We’d still love to have you help out.

We’re holding a CSTS volunteer orientation session on Wednesday June 12 at The Carrot (9351 118 Ave). The volunteer orientation will begin at 7pm and will be over before 9pm.  If you’d like to grab a snack or coffee, please come a few minutes early.

Once your orientation is over, feel free to hang out with other Browncoats as Wednesday is also our regularly scheduled knitting night.

We will have a limited number of t-shirts available onsite the day of the event. These shirts will be limited in sizes and style. They will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.

At our auction we’ll accept cashy money, debit and credit cards. The Metro Cinema Society has an ATM in the lobby if you prefer to stick with cash.

You’ll notice that some donations will list multiple donors. It’s not a mistake. This most often occurs in the case of autographed items. Multiple people may have been involved in making the donation happen and we like to acknowledge all of them. Some will purchase items. Others will take the item, stand in long lines and pay for autographs. And a few shiny stars will donate (or heavily discount) their autograph.

Proceeds from the Edmonton event are divided between Equality Now, Kids Need to Read, and the Edmonton Youth Empowerment and Support Services (YESS, formerly the Youth Emergency Shelter Society).

People are still welcome to attend Karaoke & Knitting (look for people knitting tri-coloured toques) but we are unable to guarantee anyone will be there. So perhaps this is a good week to skip.
