Attention Volunteers! Want to volunteer but not into the walk all the way to gate? Never fear, there's a Volunteer Shuttle that runs just for the purpose of getting our volunteers to and from your destination. Check in at Headquarters, which will be in a tent near merchants row 15-20 minutes before your shift and let us know that you need a ride to your volunteer location. At the end of your shift, let your shift supervisor know that you need a ride back and that person will radio for a pick-up. It might not be immediate, but we will do the best that we can to save your feet the long trek back. Please be considerate, courteous, and reasonable, the driver may not be able to take everyone at one time, or may not be able to give you door-to-door service, or may not be there exactly at the moment that you want, but it's better than not at all! We appreciate everyone that steps up to help make the war run smoothly!
