    Description

    We are getting ready for our annual Swing for the Arts Golf Fundraiser @ Ironwood Golf Course - W270N6166 Moraine Dr #3332, Sussex, WI 53089, and we are looking for about 6 to 8 volunteers to help us out on the golf course. As we get closer to the event, I'll send out an email with more specific details and assignments, but here's what I have for now:

    A little about the event (For those who have never helped with this event before, here's the general rundown)

    Guests arrive and start their day with lunch at 11:30am, and golfing begins at noon. Around 4:30 or 5pm, the main fundraising program begins, along with a buffet dinner. There will be silent auction baskets, live auction items, and a paddle raise.

    The event is run by Joe Randa, Donna Lexa's son, and Elise, a former DLAC board member. Our admin team handles the checkout process and provides some of the volunteers who help out on the golf course.

    What you'll be doing as a volunteer

    • You'll be assigned to a golf hole. They usually have assignments figured out ahead of time, and I will email that information out, but I'll also have the most up-to-date information when you arrive.
    • Generally, you'll have your own golf cart. If you've never driven one before or need a little extra guidance, we'll show you how to use it.
    • During golfing, roughly noon to 4pm, you'll hang out at your assigned hole. Depending on the hole, you may be handing out snacks or beverages or running a fun game for golfers when they stop by.
    • Once golfing is finished, you're free to head home. However, you're also welcome to stay and enjoy the buffet dinner!

    OPTIONAL: We wrap things up around 7pm and help guests with checkout. This is generally handled by our admin team, and we're perfectly fine doing it ourselves. However, if a few volunteers want to stick around and help out, you're more than welcome to!

    Date & Time: Thursday, September 24th, 11:15am to approx. 4:30pm

    Other important info:

    • Arrive at 11:15am, so we can go over the logistics of the day with you
    • Lunch is at 11:30 - Volunteers are welcome to lunch and dinner (hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, cookies, etc.)
    • You'll be outside for most of the day, so please dress accordingly and bring sunscreen. Feel free to bring a book, a craft, or something else to work on while you're hanging out at your hole.
    • Generally, you'll be assigned to a hole by yourself, but some holes will have a second person. If you'd like to volunteer and bring someone along to hang out with you, that's absolutely fine!

    If you're interested in volunteering or have any questions, just let me know. We'd love to have you join us for another fun day of Swing for the Arts!
