SCG DRAMA & COMEDY CLUB VOLUNTEER POLICY
Effective January 1, 2017
The Drama Club produces up to 36 performances in a calendar year. An average of 6700 patrons buy tickets each year supporting these performances. As anyone can imagine, this requires an extraordinary collective contribution by Drama Club volunteers.
Volunteers are the engine that drives the club – without them, there would be no club. The Drama Club is different than other SCG clubs because the essence of the club and the reason people should be joining is to volunteer to work in a creative environment as opposed to joining a club to play a sport or create something out of wood, etc.
Over the past few years, the volunteer engine has been sputtering. Fortunately key members have upped their game to pick up the slack. But despite their dedication, burn out is inevitable which has put the club as we know it at risk. Therefore, the Drama Club Board has decided to adopt the following mandatory volunteer policy similar to what most other SCG clubs have instituted.
To remain a member in GOOD STANDING, all members will be expected to earn four (4) volunteer credits per year. Failing this requirement, members will not be eligible to participate in club-sponsored activities including, but not limited to, the Annual Holiday Party, Spring Picnic, or Educational Offerings the following year.
The yearly Membership Application will list a number of volunteer opportunities from which to select at least three (3) areas of interest. Committee Chairs will contact volunteers based on your selections before each performance and subsequently keep track of their volunteers to facilitate monitoring throughout the year.
So members can start thinking about their preferences, a list of Drama Club committees and tasks are summarized below for consideration:
Advertising, Box Office, Costume Design, Dance Committee, Director, Dresser, Education/Class Design, Electronic Bulletin Board, Graphics, Hospitality, Lighting, Make-Up, Membership, Play Review, Producer, Programs, Properties, Props, Season Tickets, Set Design/Construction, Sound, Stage Crew, Sunshine Club, Telephone Tree, Usher, Web Site, Other.
You can review these volunteer opportunities in more detail, as well as the new accounting system to keep track of ALL volunteer efforts by person,on the Drama Club website at www.granddrama.com.
