BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The annual Halloween carnival held at the Rancho Bernardo-Glassman Recreation Center in late October is in danger of being cancelled due to a lack of helpers. Center Director Eric McDonald said because he only has one full-time and one part-time staffer, the free party for children and typically attended by up to 300 locals might not occur. There are five recreation leader positions at the RB center that the city has not been able to fill. “We will not be able to put on the free event without help from the community,” he said. McDonald said he reached out to the Westwood Elementary PTA to recruit volunteers since most of the attendees reportedly attend that school, but he has not been successful in getting help thus far. Volunteers are needed to help with setting up and decorating the booths and games, running the activities, assisting with the costume contest and breaking down the event at its conclusion. “We are so desperate ... the time requirement is whenever they can (help), two hours, four hours,” McDonald said. “We could do shifts of two hours or whatever works. We would like to stay flexible as (possible) to get as many (volunteers) as we can.” One-time volunteers with the City of San Diego will not need to go through a background check, he said. All they must do is fill out an individual volunteer participation agreement, a waiver and release of liability form prior to the event. Volunteers 17 and younger must have their parent or guardian complete and sign the form. Volunteers will not need to attend training in advance either, as their duties can be explained to them during the carnival, he said. Due to the party’s uncertainty this year, McDonald said SEE VOLUNTEERS, A11
