Volunteers are really the ones who make the MBC sale a success! We always have amazing volunteers who work very hard, and we hope to have the same for this sale! Volunteering your time as well as your services help the sale run smoothly!

The following are brief descriptions of some of the possible volunteering opportunities for the sale. These are very general descriptions, but hopefully it will give you an idea of what needs to be done.  If you wish to request a particular volunteering job, please contact me at joanna@mbcsale.com.

If you are interested in the incentives for volunteering, go to Volunteer Incentives. If you are interested in registering to volunteer your time, go to Volunteer Registration.  To volunteer your services, go to Donations and Services.

REMEMBER: YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A CONSIGNOR TO VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME OR SERVICES!!!! However, if you are a non-consignor volunteer, you may only volunteer BEFORE the consignor/volunteer pre-sale.

Don't forget those husbands!  We always need some extra muscle...especially during set-up and tear-down!
