Thank you so much for volunteering to help with our virtual finale party! At this party, we'll be doing volunteering a little differently: Unless you're helping with a specific event or location, you'll be free to move around between rooms any time you'd like to and be a force for good wherever you are. You'll be equipped with special volunteer versions of all the room backgrounds so guests know who you are and you'll have co-host powers.

As a volunteer, your job will be to be the best kind of party guest. Your duties will be easy but important:

 • Being kind and welcoming to others, especially new fans or those who haven't attended an event before.
 • Familiarizing yourself with Zoom functions and the event setup/schedule so you can be helpful if others are confused, and directing people to the Medina Station Help Desk if they need extra help.
 • Setting your own virtual background to match the room's theme whenever you arrive in a new room, and helping other guests to do so. This creates the party's atmosphere!
• Facilitating good conversations by listening to each person as they speak, encouraging others to take turns, bringing the conversation back to someone if they're interrupted, and cutting off disrespectful conversations or arguments.
 • Being aware of the book spoiler rules for the room you're in and redirecting conversation if it gets spoilery where it shouldn't.
 • If there are cast or crew members in your room, making sure they're treated respectfully and not bothered for information that isn't public.
 • Using your co-host power to mute people who are accidentally broadcasting irrelevant noise, and banning guests if they're being rude or inappropriate. The latter has never happened before, but it's good to have the option just in case.

And that's seriously it!
