Welcome AAUW and Bunny Buddies "Quilt Show" Volunteers,

The 2006 International Quilt Market (IQM) and International Quilt Festival (IQF) will run Saturday, October 28, through Sunday, November 5, at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. "Preview Night" is Wednesday, November 1. IQM is for vendors only. IQF is open to the public.

Shifts are available before, during, and after both events. Workers receive parking reimbursement, free admission to that day's show (a $10 value), and $6 per hour for themselves or their designated non-profit ("AAUW-WHC" or "BB"). People working an evening shift can ask Security to walk them to their cars.

This year, workers can sign up directly with Terri Winsauer, IQM/IQF Staff Coordinator, through www.quilts.com/worktheshows/Houston/. Terri's email address for this event is worktheshow@quilts.com. (Please note that Terri is moving at the end of September and may be away from her email during that time.)
