Help Keep Kids Safe at Parade by Volunteering for Elf Security Brigade Dec. 3
(Pontiac DBA, Nov. 23, 2016)
Pontiac, MI – The Pontiac Downtown Business Association and Holiday Extravaganza committee would like to ask if you can volunteer to support the parade on Saturday, December 3.
Our role as part of the Holiday Extravaganza Elf Security Brigade is important to ensure the children and parents have fun AND are safe! Everyone loves a parade, and having you act as an ambassador to the City of Pontiac is a key role to ensure all have a memorable experience.
As a reminder:
Park in the Oakland Press lot on the corner of Huron and Southbound Woodward.
Meet at The P.L.A.T. – Pontiac’s Little Art Theatre (47 N. Saginaw St)
Arrive at 10:00 AM depending on your commitment
Walk inside, and you will be greeted by one of our team
You’ll be given a t-shirt, block assignment, and cards to distribute
After the parade return to The P.L.A.T. to check out and return your vest and hat
What will I be doing as part of the Elf Security Brigade?
Ensuring participants stay safely on the sidewalks. Little children LOVE creeping closer and closer to see their favorite characters and grab more candy. Keep people on the sidewalk. The marching bands and floats can not see little children and we need to protect any accidents from happening.
Floats love to throw candy, and that is not safe. Respectfully approach the candy throwers and let them know they need to hand the children candy and not throw it from the floats.
Hand the parents the postcards letting them know that Santa will be at the Pontiac Public Library immediately after the parade if they wish to visit Santa.
SMILE and have fun. You are an Ambassador to the City of Pontiac and Downtown.
WHAT NEXT?
Please email Christian@FutureHelpDesigns.com with your name to confirm your attendance, and share your cell number in case we need to coordinate the morning of the parade.
If you have any question feel free to contact Christian at (248) 961-6433.
Sincerely,
Promotions Committee
