We are currently looking for people that live in all areas especially downtown Toronto that make regular trips to comic book and toys stores to help drop off flyers to help promote the convention. If this is something you would be able to do let us know. Thanks!

Do you have some kind of .pdf file or jpg we can use to print out, photo copy then put out there. I have so much reach in the toy/comic conventions and collectors here I can get it out in no time.

Alrighty, I already sent an email a while back but wasn't sure I'd be available for the 'Con, but now I'm sure I will be attending so feel free to put me to work. :p Also I'm pretty much available to do promotional stuff around Montreal and the South Shore.

[Paradigm-Shift Prime]

I can gladly be of use for stocking downtown Toronto stores with fliers. I am a grad student at U of T, spend a lot of time in the core and can cover stores like Silver Snail, Grey Region, that TF/hobby shoppe on Spadina, etc, and even a couple of key flyering areas of the U of T campus if desired (i.e. the Syd Smith lobby). Emailing my mailing address now.

I'll be too busy searching first for great G1 deals then for parts and junkers I need to volunteer on Con day though, and next year I think I'm going to rent out a table myself.

[chisau]

is it too late to volunteer for the con?

[Aernaroth]

We're looking for volunteers to help promote TFcon and Cybertron.ca at the Manitoba Comic-con on October 11th and 12th, 2008, in Winnipeg.

If you're in the area, or already planning on going, and would like to help out, let us know!

[chans formers]

id be willing to help out too,but only after a few hours in the dealer room searching for treasures.after that ,if needed,im all yours.(id help with security but i dont think they would take too kindly to me bringing ol "louieville " onto the plane!:D)

[TFcon Toronto]

We're once again looking for additional TFcon volunteers to help prior to and during the convention. Let us know if you're interested. Thanks!

[Black Cat]

*raises hand* I'm here to help.

[Oasis]

Oreobot has talked me into coming in a day early, so I volunteer for any and everything. As usual.

I had already assumed both of you would be back again :)
Thanks!

[slippy]

I just sent an email! I hope you guys still need volunteers for 2009 at the event.

[Bruticus82]

I'd love to help, but my exam schedule won't let me do it this year. :-(

Oh well, last year of school, so maybe next year. :-)

[Quantum]

totally interested. Let me know as time comes closer, and if time allows, I'll do whatever I can!

[Oreobot]

Oasis convinced me to volunteer, so here I am. :)

[ElfGirl13]

I also volunteer whatever service I might be able to offer. Oasis convinced me to mention her name at the offering (so there we go).

[CdnShockwave]

I MIGHT be able to pitch in this time. It all depends on if I get accepted to law school and, if accepted, if there's enough time before the May semester starts. So, maybe. I really do want to come! Really!

[Super_Megatron]

Bump.

[Sting Rose]

Do you still need volunteers?

[Nightscrabbler]

Yes.

[Zodberg]

Posting here because I didn't want to make a new thread.
But the previous years I've been, there have been Convention Programs passed out with registration.

I'm wondering if this year it would be possible to get some of my artwork put into the program - to get people to visit my table. Like a drawing of Prime or whomever. You provide me some blank space on a page and I will fill it to make it look frosty-cool.

[optimus scourge]

email sent and replied.

Looking forward to this show! :D

See ya soon!

[Super_Megatron]

With 2 months left until TFcon now is a good time to email the convention if you are interested in volunteering.

[Ultra Maverick]

Volunteered at the convention for the first time last year and it was a great expereince. Gave me an oppertunity to personally meet tons of people from the boards and everyone I worked with were super easy to get along with.

[Quantum]

Me too! Volunteered for TFcon last year for the first time, and haven't stopped since. It's an amazing opportunity to be involved in a huge gathering of like-minded people in a great fan-community.

And staff hi-jinx are mucho del funno!

[TheLogicalProwl]

I'll help out. What needs to be done?

[Code of Honor]

Just go to TFcon.ca and email us.

[jrmyolvr]

[optimus prime zim]

TFCON was so fun can't wait for next year!!!!! :)

[Richter]

Had a pretty good time as a volunteer, though I only put in 4 hours so I didn't demand my admission back ;)

[TMIIWonkoNemises]

Despite the time I had to sacrifice in the second autograph session...I had an awesome time being volunteer and will do it again next year.My sister also had a good time.
