FIRST TIME VOLUNTEER DEPOSIT POLICY - Anyone who has never worked as an individual Event Essentials Event volunteer, or has failed to report to a scheduled volunteer position in previous years without notifying Event Essentials Event, must send a personal check for $50 made out to Event Essentials Event Volunteer to Post Office Box 10, Tampa, FL 33606. Applications for first year volunteers will not be processed until the Event Essentials Event Volunteer Coordinator has received the volunteer deposit. This check will be held until the final day of scheduled shifts. The deposit check and volunteer pin may be picked up at Flattop's Getaway after the successful completion of all scheduled shifts. Checks not picked up will be shredded. Only personal checks will be accepted. No cash, money orders, etc.

CANCELLATION POLICY FOR ALL VOLUNTEERS - Notification of cancellation for Event Essentials Event must be received by 5pm EST March 10th. This includes any individual shift cancellations. New volunteers who cancel after that date or fail to successfully complete any volunteer shift, will have their deposit check cashed by Event Essentials Event. Neither new volunteers nor veterans who cancel after March 10th will be considered for volunteer positions the following year.
