How You Can Get Involved
Get involved with Silk Road Gala 2004! The Silk Road is a volunteer-run event. Volunteers work together to plan the event, bring in corporate sponsorship, sell tickets, plan the food and entertainment, create the decorations, sell ads in the Program Book, solicit items for the auctions, encourage media coverage, greet and register guests, staff silent auction tables and make sure everything runs smoothly the day of the event. We welcome volunteers for all of the above activities.
You can also support Silk Road by becoming a corporate sponsor, placing an advertisement in the program book or donating an auction item. Attending Silk Road, where you can experience the splendor of this special event, is the most fun of all. Recognition will be given in the program book to individual and corporate sponsors and those who buy a table. For more information, please contact brenda@atask.org
