Description of Net Revenue Distribution to Volunteers at
Acorn War XXVI – 2015

The Shire of Mountain Edge wants to recognize volunteers from
the branches that help make this friendly war fun each year. 
Therefore Mountain Edge will share 50% of the event net revenue
among the recorded volunteers, with the proceeds going to the
destination of their choice (their branch, the Kingdom travel
fund).

To accomplish this, volunteers will be asked to record their
hours in a manner similar to that used at large inter-Kingdom
events (most recently Gulf Wars) and the Shire will compute the
revenue sharing as follows:

Total volunteer hours divided into 50% of net revenue =  $
per volunteer hour

Total of individual volunteer hours per branch/other destination
X $ per volunteer hour = $ to that branch/destination

Complete records will be available to recipient branches so that
they may choose to recognize exceptional volunteers (and we hope
they do!).

Volunteer sign up sheets will be available at gate and we will
also have area leads responsible for tracking volunteer hours
(examples: set up activities – most on Thursday September 10 when
much help is needed in the afternoon and early evening, take down
Sunday afternoon September 13, marshaling in any area including
heavy, YAC, rapier, equestrian, A&S – coordination, teaching a
class,  martial activities water support, sitting at troll
(gate), equestrian ground crew, Gold Key, family
activities……….)  It truly takes an army to run a
war!.

Yes, more paperwork for Mountain Edge – but an opportunity to
ensure that those who serve, sometimes invisibly, will be rewarded
for their service. Without volunteers, we can’t have events.
