Reston Festival 2010 Sub-Committee Members Needed
Festival Dates: Saturday, July 10 and Sunday, July 11, 2010 at Reston Town Center
Volunteers Needed to Serve on the Reston Festival 2010 Sub-Committee
This will be Reston’s 46th Birthday Celebration and we hope you will join us in the planning process. We need your help in the pre-planning stage to the actual assistance the days of the festival.
With the continued growth and success of the Reston Festival it’s important that committee chairs and committee members understand their role, function and duties for each planning segment. We currently need volunteers to chair and serve on the following sub-committees: Activities, Crafter, Logistics, Publicity, Sponsorship and Volunteer. The sub-committees meet once a month and more as we get closer to the festival. The sub-committees will have one chair and up to five volunteers. The Chair of the committee should report to regularly scheduled planning sessions for the entire group. The committee chair reports to the Reston Festival Chairperson, Jim Traylor.
Please take a look at the following sub-committees and let me know if you’re interested in serving on any of these committees. For more information on the festival, please contact Ha Brock at habrock@reston.org.
Festival Dates: Saturday, July 10th (Noon – 10:00PM) and Sunday, July 11, 2009 (Noon – 7:00PM) at Reston Town Center
