2007 Volunteer Application

McDonald’s® Thanksgiving Parade Volunteer Guidelines

1. Appropriate language and behavior will be expected at all time. This is a family event and many children are present. Fighting and foul language WILL NOT be tolerated. Those volunteers who do so will be escorted off the premises immediately.
   
2. Volunteers must wear the volunteer hat and khaki pants at all times for proper identification. (Black pants may be substituted if you do not own khakis)
   
3. All volunteers should immediately report emergency situations to the Chicago Police Department or to the nearest Parade Staff Member.
   
4. Volunteers must be knowledgeable of their position duties. Should there be a question you cannot answer, direct that person to your volunteer chairperson or parade Staff Members.
   
5. All volunteers are requested to attend Parade School on November 10, 2007, which will orientate them on their parade duties.
   
6. By completing a volunteer application, you understand that the Chicago Festival Association cannot guarantee first or second position choices, nor can we guarantee the pairing of friends, family and co-workers. We will try our best to accommodate requests.
   
7. Volunteers must check-in individually to ensure all positions are covered. Volunteers will receive a gift bag only if they physically check-in.
   *Gift bag pick up will be in the Volunteer Check In Lot from 10:30am to 12:00pm
   
8. Those volunteers attending the Thank You Party must present their admission ticket (to be mailed), in order to gain entry. No additional friends or family members will be allowed in unless they too are volunteers and present a ticket.
   
9. Volunteers should correctly refer to the event as the McDonald's® Thanksgiving Parade.
   
10. The Chicago Festival Association reserves the right to bar any volunteer who does not adhere to the guidelines from participating in current and future parades
