BIA Parade of Homes Information
Welcome to the 2009 TWIG - Parade of Homes Scheduling Site!
The 2009 BIA Parade of Homes will be held July 11-26, 2009 at Tartan Ridge in Dublin. The Parade will feature 11 builders, and this year's Foundation Home builder is Compass Homes. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this home will be donated to Nationwide Children's Hospital.
Some of the Parade Builders have asked TWIGs to host their homes. This will entail greeting visitors, directing them through the house and giving them general details about the site. The shifts are 3 hours each and run from 12:00pm - 3:00pm, 3:00pm - 6:00pm and 6:00pm - 9:00pm (there is no 6:00 shift on Sundays). The Builders will make a donation to the Nationwide Children's Hospital Foundation equal to $15 per hour for each Volunteer. Individual TWIGs will receive paper credit for their time.
Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older and should dress 'business casual' (no jeans or shorts), but please wear comfortable shoes, as you will be standing. Upon arrival at the house, each volunteer should locate the TWIG Binder (located in a kitchen drawer) and sign in for their schedule. Important: Your Twig will not receive paper credit for hours worked if the sign in/out sheet is not completed correctly. (TWIG # must be referenced.) Please plan to arrive a few minutes early to familiarize yourself with the details of the house, which will be provided to you.
Volunteers will receive Parade badges, parking passes and directions to the homes. These will be mailed to your TWIG Chair (or other designated person) in time for the event. If, at a later date, you need to make changes to the shift(s) you have selected, or cannot honor your commitment, please do your best to find a replacement. Important: If you are not able to find someone, please contact Pat Schlake at (614) 933-8757 or Cheryl Williams at (614) 581-0762 immediately.
Our relationship with the Parade builders is critical to the success of this project. For that reason, we will impose a $45 fee (equal to 3 hours at $15/hour) on any volunteer who fails to show up for a scheduled shift without informing one of the above committee persons at least three hours before the shift begins. The Twig that the volunteer was working for will pay the fee in the form of a donation to Nationwide Children's Hospital. While cancellations are inevitable, we must all do our best to ensure that these houses are not left unattended.
