We do have limited crash space for our gofers, and as always the Gofer Lounge is always open to re-stoke your gofer engines. Volunteers who work 25 hours or more for Chicon will receive refunds of their membership fees, provided that the convention has sufficient leftover funds. Thank you for volunteering, we always appreciate the ones who really make a convention run. And we know it can't be done with out your help. Katie Davis, Gofer Diva.
Volunteers are essential to any convention.
Without the help of volunteers the convention simply wouldn't happen at all. Everyone you see working for the convention is a volunteer. This even includes the convention staff and a great many of the guests who are giving their time and energy to see that you have a good time. All of the departments such as Convention Services, Hospitality, Registration and Programming are staffed exclusively with volunteers. All of the events such as the Dances, the Masquerade, the Art Show, Video and a great many of the panels depend upon volunteer labor.
