Extended Work Hours: Your help needed NOW!!

We only have 2 more weekends to get this thing built!!!

Due to the rain and ACL Fest we had a pretty low turnout this past weekend. Regardless, those that came out did an incredible job in getting things done.

If you are an actor or actress in this year’s Blood Ritual, we need you to come out and give us a few hours of labor or we will not be ready on Opening Night.

If you have been planning on coming out to help… this is the weekend to do it!

I can’t stress this enough… WE NEED HELP!

SCARE has always been a team effort and the team needs to come together. Please join us and become a part of the team.

Let’s not forget why we do this. The money we raise will directly help support hundreds of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer. The Breast Cancer Resource Centers of Texas needs our help. We benefit a worthy cause and have a lot of FUN in the process.

Work Hours (7 days a week!):
Monday – Thursday, 6pm – 9pm or later (contact Paul at p_sicard@earthlink.net)
Friday, 4pm – 9pm or later
Saturday, 9am – 6pm or later
Sunday, 10am – 6pm

Location: 7400 Coldwater Canyon (off City Park Rd.)

If you have an artistic flair, contact our Art Director, David at dbessenhoffer@gmail.com and we'll put you to work helping with props and set dressing.

If you can sew or want to help with fundraising, contact SCARE Vice-President, Norma at njcrippen@austin.rr.com

Please check out the Volunteer Page here, the FAQ page for details, or email volunteer@scareforacure.org.

No matter what your skill is… we need you!

Tips for the Sharp-Minded Volunteer

ANTSNAX ON FLICKR

Whether you’re working in “The Bunker” or “The Lab,” following this advice from our friendly neighborhood police detective will help us stay organized as well as keeping you safe! For information on volunteering, please email volunteer@scareforacure.org.

RSVP when you can (but don’t let that stop you from just showing up if you can’t).

Wear good shoes. No sandals!

Bring work gloves if you’ve got ’em. (We have plenty if you don’t.)

If you bring your own tools, label them! We have duct tape and markers on site.

Respect other people’s tools and equipment.

Don’t wander away from the work site or pass any “Do not cross” yellow tape.

If you don’t know, ASK.

Be sure to sign in when you get there and sign out before you leave.

I have not spotted any poison ivy yet so long pants are not mandatory, just suggested.

Bring a water bottle if you have one. Keep it filled.

Have FUN!


Finally…
The work day isn’t over until everything is cleaned up and put away! Please don’t just walk off leaving tools and materials lying around. It makes more work for those staying late.

Thanks and I hope to see you this weekend!!!

SCARE Work Day Saturday, September 5

When: Saturday Sept. 5th, 9am till 4pm - FREE Lunch at 1pm

Where: Starting at the Austin Elks Lodge #201, 700 Dawson Rd.

Details: We will be doing a lot of lifting and moving. SCARE will provide gloves, water, Gatorade, sunscreen and bug spray as needed. Please wear shoes or boots, no sandals. I suggest jeans or pants. A ball-cap or hat would also be handy. It is preferred that you bring your own refillable sports bottle of water. We will provide
water but we are trying to minimize the amount of trash and recycling we need to pack out.

Yes, the rumors are true. SCARE has found a new home, a better home. A home that will shock and amaze you!!!

This Saturday is your first opportunity to see the new site. You will not be disappointed. But we have lots of work to do and we need your help.

We have to get EVERYTHING to the new site A.S.A.P.!

If you have access to a truck or trailer, or any vehicle that can pull a trailer, please bring it. The sooner we get everything over there, the sooner we can get started on building the most amazing haunt Austin has ever seen.

Please contact me at volunteer@scareforacure.org if you have any questions. If you will need to arrive any time after 10 am, please text or call me at 512/785-6813 cell to find out where we are at.

Thank you again for your support, and we hope to see you this weekend. We expect to be out there as well from 9-4 pm Sunday and Monday.
