Verizon Wireless Amphitheater allows non-profit organizations to work concessions at their concerts for a percentage of the revenue. The Saint Charles Young Republicans have a contract there and will be staffing a booth (along with the Saint Louis Young Republicans) at every concert this season. We sell mostly beer, but we may also sell water and soda, depending on which concert. It's a great way for the clubs to make money.
 
In order to work at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater for our fundraising efforts, you must be TIPS (Training for Intervention ProcedureS) trained (training is valid for three years). You only have to attend ONE of the possible training classes.

Concert Orientation is MANDATORY! Please read.

Unfortunately, we learned that the orientation that is now mandatory. No one who has not taken this class will be allowed in the doors to work concessions. They have scheduled one more date. This Saturday, May 05, 2012 at 10:00 AM (with a TIPS training class at 12:00 PM) at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. They say plan for the orientation to last two hours and TIPS two and a half, but the sessions last Saturday did not last that long. If you plan on helping out at concerts this summer, either for the Young Republicans or another organization of your choice, you need to be at this session. And they are also requesting RSVPs so they can plan accordingly. This is a huge fundraising opportunity!

Please RSVP to info@stlouisyrs.com and let us know if you are planning on attending.

The first schedule has been released. Volunteers are expected to be able to arrive sometime between the Call Time and Gates Open. For the "All Day" shows, we are trying to find out our requirements - whether our stand will be open all day (requiring a morning shift and evening shift) or just in the evening.
