Book Festival of the MJCCA Trasportation Volunteer Form

Here is your chance to get "up close and personal" with Book Festival authors. We are looking for volunteer drivers to drive our authors to and from the MJCCA and our host hotel, the Atlanta Marriott Perimeter Center.

To qualify as a volunteer driver, you must have a cell phone and the following two documents:
1. A copy of your valid driver's license; and
2. A certificate of insurance reflecting at least $500,000.00 of liability coverage, with the MJCCA added as an additional insured. Your insurance agent should provide this certificate and fax it directly to the MJCCA at no charge to you.

Both of these documents must be faxed to 678.812.3951 to the attention of Pam Morton or emailed to Pam.Morton@atlantajcc.org:
