***Looking for Music-Loving Volunteers!!!*** Coffeehouse kitchen/merchandise duties

 

The famed Yellowdoor Coffeehouse in the McGill Ghetto is looking for volunteer's) to help out with shows on Saturday nights and the occasional Friday night.

Duties include serving coffee/tea etc, collecting $$for merchandise at times and helping to stack chairs at the end of the night and clean kitchen. Mostly though you get to hear great concerts, eat baked goods and go home anywhere between 10:30 and 11:00. Start time would be 7:00 - 7:30 and I am fine if you only want to come 1 or 2 Saturdays or the occasional Friday night. Preferably a couple of people could share this.

WE ARE STILL THE YELLOW DOOR!

The next time you pass by our offices, you will notice that our door has been changed. We have gone from yellow to mahogany. 

This was not by choice. Since we are situated  in the "Plateau-Mont-Royale" neighborhood, any renovations have to be approved by city officials. They  did not approve a new yellow door and  insisted that the new door resemble the original door of our building.

We will be keeping our sandwich board outside where we  post upcoming events. We will also put up our name and logo above the new door so that people will be able to locate us easily.

Our old yellow door will be kept on the premises until we can think of something original to do with it. If you have any ideas, please forward them to our director by sending an email to pietro.bozzo@mcgill.ca.
