Guidelines for Kaleidoscope Group Leaders
- Make it a top priority to be organized, prepared, and ready to lead your group on Kaleidoscope Day.
- Communicate clearly and often to group members during the Kaleidoscope preparation process.
- Make sure you have secured a commitment from enough group members to cover your Kaleidoscope space throughout the event. Remember that group members will want to explore the various attractions and activities at the Kaleidoscope Festival; breaks should be planned for everyone.
- Bring necessary supplies. Provide your workers with necessary cords, equipment, and fire extinguishers. Depending on the activity, other supplies might include tablecloths, tape, scissors, paper towels/rags, trash containers, event tickets, pot holders, serving utensils, paper goods (cups, napkins, plates, and plastic ware), decorations, signs, pens, paper, prizes, and toys.
- Plan ahead, especially when serving food. The Kaleidoscope Festival starts at 11 A.M. and ends at 5 P.M. Please offer a high quality product, at a competitive price.
- The Long Beach Health Department requires the use of hand and utensil washing sinks. Kaleidoscope food vendors will receive food handling training at the April Final Preparation
Meetings. You will be responsible for the proper use of these sinks throughout the Kaleidoscope Festival.
- Wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Kaleidoscope t-shirts will be sold in the University Bookstore during the month of April. It is recommended that participants wear official Kaleidoscope 2010 t-shirts so they may be identified as Kaleidoscope workers, sharing Beach Pride with campus visitors.
- Ask for help and clarification from Kaleidoscope coordinators now. In order to alleviate any complications please plan ahead and ask questions before April 24, 2010.
