Call for Volunteers!

With the restart of events, we are looking for volunteers to head up committees as well as to be a part in helping out. The following is a list of positions we are looking to fill. Please remember that other than the Gallery Manager, the entire organization is volunteer run! Even if all you can do is help out for an hour or two at one event, please consider volunteering. 
 
Needed positions:
  • Satellite Coordinators: Manage all aspects of satellite, including change-outs and sale replacements. Must maintain inventory log and reconciliation.
  • Event Director: Oversee and schedule events including major fundraisers for the organization. Appoint event coordinators to head each individual event and help find event committee members as well as work with event committee 
  • Event volunteers: Help event director with details of events throughout the year. May include setting up for event and clean up after.

HAA Merch!

All POLO orders must be placed in the Gallery along with pre-payment before we can place the order. The manufacturer can only print in quantities of 12 or more, so as long as we get at least 12 orders, we will be going ahead with printing. 
 
We’ve also created a Giving Campaign through Bonfire.com!  Every t-shirt and tote is made to order and shipped in batches at the end of the campaign.  Grab your HAA Merch before the clock runs down!
