Double Credit
Because volunteering on Saturday afternoon has not
been popular in the past, we are offering double
volunteer credits to anyone who signs up for
Saturday afternoon. These credits allow you to receive more of
the profits from the sale of your items.

Volunteers
Benefits
The Consignment
Sale is run solely by volunteers. Your volunteer help is needed
to ensure the success of Sale - which means the success of our programs
and member benefits. We ask all sellers who are able to volunteer
to work one 4.5-hour shift during the Sale.
But…there
are incentives! First, you will likely fulfill your yearly
volunteer
requirement (4hrs) for your SFPOM membership! Secondly, for each
additional
shift worked, you keep an additional 5% of your revenues. The more shifts you work, the more you keep
of your revenues. For example, after your first volunteer shift,
you receive 65% of revenues. After the second, you receive 70%,
and so on. If you really can't volunteer at the Sale -- if you're
out of town, working, nursing, a single parent, etc.-- you can still
sell your items without volunteering. SFPOM members who sell but
who do NOT volunteer will receive 60% of the revenues, still more
than what you'd get at a Consignment Sale. And more importantly,
the rest of the proceeds support the Club!
If you volunteer to work during each
shift of the Sale, you can keep 100% of the proceeds from your sold
items. Similarly, if you work the Saturday afternoon shift you
receive double credit.
Volunteer
Sign Up
SFPOM members
may sign up for volunteer shifts using our web-based system. Log
on to your BigTent main page and click on the "News"
tab for details. Non-members and members who are not signed up
on BigTent are encouraged to volunteer as well. For questions
about volunteering, please contact sale_volunteers@sfpom.org.
Volunteer
Guidelines
Once you sign
up for a shift, you're required to find a replacement should you
not be able to work that shift. Please plan to arrive 15 minutes
prior to the start of your shift. This will give you enough time
to be trained on your volunteer role. Refreshments will be available
during your shift.
Privileges
All members
who volunteer are allowed to shop on Friday between 6:00pm and
7:00pm, 1 hour prior to the Members Sale Preview. Volunteers
can also shop early on Saturday from 8:30am to 9:00am. The Sale
opens to the public at 9:00am.
