A volunteer then mails the cards or notifies the entrants by e-mail. Volunteers man the pickup hours for declined works. They write the copy for the catalog and secure photographs of award winners for reproduction in the catalog. They deliver camera-ready copy to the printer. They assist with the layout and hanging of the show.
Volunteers prepare food for the reception.
They bake cookies, make dips, candies, and all other kinds of delicacies. They replenish the punch bowls and the teapot. They carry trays of food to the table, and napkins and cups, and they empty trash cans. They answer questions about the show, and they take care of the pickup station for declined works. There is some kind of job for everyone who wishes to help.
