2013 Dining Out For Life Ambassador Sign-up Form

On Thursday, April 25, 2013 more than 160 restaurants across Minnesota will participate in Dining Out for Life, (DOL) a fundraiser for The Aliveness Project. The restaurants donate a percentage of their sales to support the many services such as the hot meal program, food shelf, integrated therapies, health & wellness, case management and other programs. Nearly 400 Volunteer Ambassadors help on the day of the event.

 

What Ambassadors Do:  
   
• Invite family & friends to your restaurant • It is an easy one-time opportunity
• Welcome & thank diners • Need not have volunteered before
• Answer questions • Attend a simple 1.5 hour training
• Encourage donations • Work in pairs as needed

Additional Information
Ambassador Buddy

Some restaurants/meal times work best with two Ambassadors. Sharing the experience will make the day more enjoyable and potentially ease the pressure of working a busy restaurant.  If you plan to work with an Ambassador Buddy, please provide your Buddy's information.

Training Times

New Ambassadors (Buddies included) will come to training where they will pick up their materials and learn how to work the event.

Seasoned Ambassadors (those who have volunteered for 2 of the last 3 years), Pick-Up times are Open House style, meaning you may drop-in and receive your materials and a quick update reviewing changes for this year. If you cannot make any of these trainings, please call Molly (612) 822-7946 ext. 207 to arrange a training time.  You may also attend a full training time if you prefer.

All trainings will be held at The Aliveness Project, 730 East 38th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55407. (map)

Please attend the earliest training that fits your schedule.

 

All formal group trainings have passed.  I will pick up my packet of materials at The Aliveness Project on Monday April 22 or Tuesday, April 23 at the specific time between 9 am- 6 pm.  I know to allow about ½ hour to be trained on these materials.

Other DOL Volunteering

We'd appreciate your help with some other volunteer tasks prior to Dining Out for Life daytime, and / or occasional evening and weekend times.  Check as many as you'd like!

Visibility Campaign: Attend events, wear aprons and distribute DOL fliers over lunch, evenings or weekends. Can be one-time or ongoing. Individuals or groups.

Social Media Outreach:  Do you Tweet? Blog? (Or at least read a lot of food related blogs?) Are you Linked-In? Pinterst-ing? Or spend a lot of time on Facebook?  Let's talk!
