City Deaf Sports Club. Your prompt arrival and completion of your event are vital
to the success. When you sign up, you commit to being present for that specific

considerate and contact volunteer@deafsportsclub.org, so we can adjust our roster. - Our event will take place regardless of the weather. Please check the weather
and dress accordingly. We recommend dressing in layers as the weather in New
York City can change quickly. - You may not consume any alcoholic beverages or smoke during your volunteer
event. - You may not make personal texts or calls during your event unless it’s an emergency. If you need
to make a call/text, arrange to step away briefly. - Unless otherwise directed, you may not eat during your volunteer event. Please
plan on eating before/after your event. - Your assignment is complete when a staff member releases you. If you have not
been released at the end of your event, please contact a lead volunteer or staff

balloon team passes and you have cleaned up your area. - Pets are not allowed with you during your volunteer event.
