Coastal Sound Music volunteers will staff the Christmas tree lot at IKEA Coquitlam again this year. Julie Henry will be managing the project and can be reached at ikea@coastalsoundmusic.com.

At the time of on-line registration, all members were given information requesting that every singer (or their family members) contribute at least 1 four hour shift of volunteer time. In order to fill all the shifts, we will need some families to contribute 2 shifts, if possible.

There are two kinds of shifts – unloading and “sales”.

Unloading shifts require a crew of 15 to unload and display 700 trees in a two-hour time window from 8am to 10am on select days.

“Sales” shifts require a team of 2 to 4 people depending on the date and time. Each of these shifts is about 4 hours long. A “sales” shift doesn't actually involve any sales … our volunteers simply staff the tree lot and mark the receipts of customers who pick up the trees they've purchased from IKEA cashiers in-store. Those who are physically able can also help during “sales” shifts by sweeping the lot, restocking displays and promoting Coastal Sound to interested members of the public.

Please check the times carefully when you sign up as some shifts are slightly longer to coincide with store hours.

No matter what shift you sign up for, you will have a good time chatting with fellow Coastal Sound folks and getting in the spirit of the season surrounded by gorgeous fresh cut trees. Sign up with friends from choir or a family member who’s willing to volunteer. The only requirement is that volunteers must be 15 years or older. Volunteers under 19 should plan to sign up with a responsible person who is 19+.

IKEA Coquitlam is located at 1000 Lougheed Highway.
