An invitation to volunteer
at CDBF 2011

 
Jennifer Nguyen, Volunteer Manager for the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival, personally invites you to join the CDBF family and sign up to help at the 2011 festival. How can you resist?

Volunteers are the heart of the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival

The Colorado Dragon Boat Festival needs more than 300 volunteers every year for the two-day event. It’s because of the dedication of volunteers like YOU that the festival is a success every year. Thank you for your interest in volunteering!

This year, we’re also seeking group volunteer applications. If you have 15 or more friends, family and co-workers in your network who can join you as volunteers, we’ll assign your group to work together if possible. We’ll thank you in our program book, and our our website.
