DRIVERS URGENTLY NEEDED

Help spread the word about the arts in Quinte!  Needed next – to deliver the March/April issue between March 5 and 9, 2008.

Then…

Deliver September/October issue between Sept. 5 and 9.

Deliver November/December issue sometime between Nov. 7 to 12.

Delivering the Quinte Arts Council’s arts newspaper, Umbrella, is a fun way to get out and meet people.  We provide a list of places to take the papers in each community throughout the Quinte region.  Most locations are small businesses such as galleries, book stores, gift shops, etc. and larger establishments, such as grocery stores, drug stores, libraries, municipal halls and chambers of commerce.  In the case of small towns (such as Bloomfield and Wellington), the drivers can just park their car and walk from location to location.  In larger towns or cities (such as Belleville and Trenton), it’s best to take a helper, one driving while the other runs in and out each location.

Currently we have regular drivers for Trenton and parts of Belleville.  We need drivers for Picton, Wellington, Bloomfield, Napanee, Deseronto, Tweed, Madoc, Marmora, Stirling, Campbellford, Colborne and Brighton.

You must have a valid driver’s license and your own vehicle.
