UPDATE: It has been confirmed, the great people at Exploding Kittens are going to send us a few copies of their game (which was the most successful kickstarter of all time, with almost 220,000 backers) to playtest during the Volunteer Bash!
We’ll ask that one person amongst the group who wants to play hands over their ID so we have someone to send the attack kittens after if a deck goes missing.
We’re the only location selected in Michigan, so tell everyone, and bring your friends!
Please RSVP on our event page.
Join us after our next ConCom meeting, from 3 to 6pm (or whenever we leave) on April 12th, for Penguicon’s Volunteer Bash party! It’s going to have a carnival theme and have free food, drink and games! Even if you don’t want to volunteer, come celebrate with us at the Westin Southfield Hotel.
We’d love for you to sign up for an hour or four in any of our departments – we’ll have tables set up where our staff will explain to the things we need help with, from load-in on Thursday to Ops during the weekend through to load-out on Sunday.
Other possible ways you can help include
- Registration
- Panel time announcer
- ConSuite
- Badge Checker
- Games Librarian
- Event/Panel Set Up
- Greeter Desk (an elite core of ruffians who help people without reward)
- Event/Costume Photographer
- General Help
It’s a great way to meet people, get involved, and to give back to a convention that wouldn’t happen without its community – in other words, you. Whether you’re a volunteer, staffer, ConCom, or the Chair, we are all volunteers.
Along with being able to earn your membership back with enough hours, anyone who signs up for at least an hour (at this event or otherwise) will be entered for a chance to win a free membership! Other prizes are handed out during Closing Ceremonies.
Check out the video we made about the Volunteer Bash in order to win a contest to playtest Exploding Kittens at the event – we’re still waiting on the results! If you’d like to make that happen, just “like” the YouTube video!
