Frequently Asked Questions When Hosting Tabling Events

Q: Are we outside, under a tent, or at an open table?

A: Generally speaking, our events are held outside, under a tent, to protect both our volunteers and attendees from the sun, wind, and light rain. In the event of inclement weather, festival organizers will make a call on cancellations or alternative arrangements on the day of the event.

Q: What are the set-up or tear-down needs?

A: The set-up and tear-down processes are quite straightforward and quick. We typically have a tent, table, and chairs provided. SPCM will provide all the necessary handouts and printed materials.

Q: Are there SPCM flyers and other printed materials to give out, and what message would you like us to give, verbally, to passersby?

A: Yes, we have a variety of handouts depending on the programs or classes we are promoting. As for your message, it's all about engaging with people and spreading awareness about SPCM. We provide a clipboard for gathering contact information or indicating interest in classes or trial lessons.
