Facts. WeeM could not ever happen without your help. Period.

Please consider donating a few hours (or more) of your time to make WeeM the amazing event that it is and has been for 48 years! Volunteer for 4 hours and collect the 2025 WeeM-theme Volunteer Pin☆ — you will see many people with their pins from previous years — and maybe win a gift card in the raffle! If you sign up to set up on Thursday or break down on Sunday, you qualify for double raffle entries as indicated on the Volunteer Sign Up website.

Volunteering offers you a great opportunity to be in the spotlight, become part of WeeM 49’s elite crew, and hobnob with the stars of WeeM! Volunteer to earn the coveted 2025 WeeM-theme Volunteer Pin☆ — the rest of the attendees will be so jealous — and maybe win some gift cards! Some volunteer slots qualify for double raffle entries as indicated on the Volunteer Sign Up website. It’s the volunteers that make WeeM so special. In addition to the organizers, we need many people to help us. There is much to do and you will meet some of the nicest people (afterall, Mensans and guests who volunteer are truly the best).

☆You must volunteer for a minimum of 4 hours to qualify for the pin.

It’s the volunteers that make WeeM so special. Besides giving back to our community and possibly earning a prize, you will truly meet some of the nicest people (afterall… Mensans and guests who volunteer are truly the best).

Note: WeeMsters are responsible for cleaning up their own mess so feel free to gently remind anyone who is leaving the Game Room or Hospitality without doing so. Consider volunteering for any of the following:

  • Loading the truck on Thursday at the storage facility
  • Unloading the truck on Thursday at the hotel
  • Set up at the hotel on Thursday
  • Work in hospitality to make sure food is available throughout the day as well as at mealtimes
  • Restocking the beverages
  • Replenishing the snacks and tidying up those areas
  • Registration
  • Organize the books for the sale by separating them into the different genres; some heavy lifting may be required by the stronger volunteers
  • Help check that the people at WeeM are indeed registered (wearing their badges for the appropriate day) and meet the age restriction at functions like Pretentious Drinking
  • At meal times, help direct people to the queue outside of Hospitality to enter the serving area.
  • Encourage people in Hospitality and the Games Room to bus their own tables.
  • Serve as speaker shepards where you greet speakers, show them where to go, and ensure they have the equipment they need for their program
  • Tidying up of Games Room by putting games away and restacking them
  • Logistics/Runners
  • Tearing down on Sunday and packing everything up
  • Loading the truck at the hotel
  • Unloading the truck at the storage facility

Benefits of Volunteering

  • That warm fuzzy feeling one gets by doing good.
  • Meet like-minded people who enjoy helping and might even become a new friend!
  • For every hour you donate, you earn a raffle ticket. People loading/unloading the truck on Thursday and/or Sunday and Hospitality servers will earn double tickets, so plan ahead to help at these critical times! The raffle will be held late Sunday morning, at 11 AM, during the Awards & Announcements program, so be sure to submit your completed tickets to the raffle box before then. Winners need not be present for prizes of more than $20.
  • Receive the coveted WeeM pin (new design every year) as a token of our appreciation when you donate four hours or more of your time.
  • For every hour you donate, earn a raffle ticket for prizes. People working certain positions/time slots, as indicated on the volunteer sign up website, earn double tickets! The raffle will be held late Sunday morning, at 11 AM, during the Awards & Announcements program, so be sure to submit your completed tickets before then. Winners need not be present for prizes of more than $20.

You can no longer sign up online today, but

Hospitality: We will not be able to accept any walk-in volunteers for Hospitality this year due to Covid safety precautions, so please sign up in advance using the on-site sign-up sheet near registration!

We truly Thank You! We really do appreciate all those who generously give of their time and talents. You make our RG amazing and that’s why people return to attend WeeM year after year.

The latest Programs At A Glance (PAAG) (when it becomes available) shows you when and where the tournaments and programs are scheduled and helps you avoid volunteering during a time slot that may conflict with something you wish to attend. As always, there may be last minutes changes due to cancellations and/or conflicts and the PAAG will be updated accordingly.

NOTE: Do not delete your confirmation email. If you need to rearrange your volunteer schedule and doing so requires you to cancel a slot, using the link in your confirmation e-mail will make it really easy. Click on the link, and it will take your personal list of Commitments. Cancel by tapping/clicking on a specific slot. The Slot details will appear and you have the option to cancel by tapping/clicking on Cancel This at the very bottom of the screen.

If you have any questions or issues, contact our Volunteer Coördinator .
