                                                    Have you ever wondered how to increase attendance at an event? Or, create some WOW with a small budget?  Volunteers are the answer.  Building relationships with volunteers can create a network where you will have a captive audience for your event as well as a pool of resources from which you can drink.  Secure, motivate and culitvate student volunteers for your events.
