Frequently Asked Questions
Q: [Who is eligible to participate in PAL?
]
A: [Anyone 18 years of age or younger may be a Player. Full time
high school students who reach age 18 during the senior year also
qualify for membership.]
Q: [What kind of talent must a Player have?]
A: [Anyone from a beginner to the very accomplished is welcome.
Currently, singers, musicians, actors, and dancers are being recruited
as players. Support staff members are needed to organize, direct,
recruit, assist in production, graphics, web development, photography
and database development and management.]
Q: [Where do the performances take place?]
A: [Performances are for those who are usually unable to attend recitals
or performances at the Perot Theater, for example. Nursing homes
and disadvantaged day care centers or hospitals are the main venues. Other
performances take place at clubs and organizations to recruit sponsors
and to promote the PAL program.]
Q: [How do I get involved?]
A: [Click on "Contact" and send us an email or talk with any
member or sponsor]
Q:
[Will my volunteer time count as public service?]]
A:
[Yes. You print out and the volunteer time
sheet on the web site under Documents and fax it to the number on the
sheet. PAL staff will sign and return to you for your records.]
Q: [May I use PAL as my project or platform
in organizations or pageants?]
A: [Absolutely, with the approval of your organization and the PAL
organization. Examples that would be approved are: A project to
buy instruments for players; provide scholarship for music or
dance lessons, or develop a branch of PAL in your city or school.
Let us hear your ideas.]
Q: [Would starting a PAL club in my school count as
leadership experience for a college or university?]
A: Each school has its own criteria for admissions, but being a
member, officer or founder of you own PAL club would certainly add to an
application or resume.
Q: [How difficult is
it to start a Pal club?]
A: Much easier than you may think. PAL will provide the forms on
the web site and offer suggestions for making the process smooth and
fun.
