* * *  UPDATED TIME SLOTS  * * * * * * * *

I was informed over the weekend that the Funfest grounds open at 8 o'clock each day so I have adjusted the morning time slots accordingly (noted by an asterisk - '*').  If this change causes a problem for anyone please let me know as soon as possible.

Thanks!

This is a blatant copy of a post (by Adam) asking for help manning the C3VR booth at MidAmerica's 2007 Funfest, September 15th - 17th.  Because Adam is unable to attend this event this year I'll be C3VR's main representative.  I don't know exactly where the C3VR booth will be (they haven't assigned us a space yet) but I'll update the location here as soon as I get it.

Adam has told me this approach has worked well in the past so "if it ain't broke - copy it"...!!!  I've set up a schedule and am asking for at last one helper per time slot.  Adam's past experience has been that the 9:00 AM through 3:00 PM timeframe is usually the busiest so that's why the extra help is being requested for those time slots.

For signing up to volunteer your time, Adam has ok'ed me to offer you a choice of C3VR Apparel, Accessories or a one-year extension of your membership.  Walkup help is always appreciated, but to get the "goods" you need to signup and showup.

Below is the schedule, please select a time slot (or slots), then reply to this thread and I'll update the schedule accordingly.

Thursday:
I'm planning to arrive in Effingham mid to late afternoon.  If anyone is planning to be in town on Thursday and can help me set up the space at (time TBD later) that would be fantastic!  Maybe we can grab some dinner afterwards too.

Friday:
*8am - 10am: 1 slot open
*10am - 12am: Mike & Terry (The Great Pumpkin), Patricia & Bob (red70-oneconv)
11am - 1pm: Butch & Jane (butch's vettes), 1 slot open
1pm - 3pm: 2 slots open
3pm - 5pm: Mike (78SAL82)

Saturday:
*8am - 10am: Lora & Larry (Tuxblacray)
*10am - 12am: Jill & Dick (VetteCountry), Doug (maynard)
11am - 1pm: Karen & Mel (karmel77), 1 slot open
1pm - 3pm: Arline & Kelly (Jetta 111), 1 slot open
3pm - 5pm: Suzy & Scott (cj5nutz)

Sunday:
*8am - 10am: 1 slot open
*10am - 12am: 1 slot open
11am - 1pm: 1 slot open
1pm - 3pm: 1 slot open

Thanks gang...!!!

Actually, I added a couple more slots for Saturday 'cause I think it'll be kinda nuts during the mid-day.  I'll give first dibs on those slots to Mike and Butch and Jane if they would like to switch.

Still need help on Friday and Sunday!

Man, I so wanted to be there this year.
I got my pre-registration stickers and letter in the mail today. Just made me sadder that I can't go this year. If I was going Jim, I'd be there for you.

Come on team- give Jim some help.
You'll meet some great people, help C3VR grow, and get a small token of appreciation from the Prez.

Jim

Mike and Terry (The Great Pumpkin) and Patricia and I will take the two slots you have open on Friday morning at !0am to 12 noon.  We are also available at some other times if the need arises.  Thanks

Thanks to assistance from Scott (cj5nutz) and Butch and Jane (butch's vettes) the C3VR booth/tent is setup and ready to go.        We're located in a pretty prime spot straight in from Gate 4 right on the end of the row. 

Stop by and say "Hi...!!!"

Great looking booth and banners!
Looks like you have a good location.

Jim- Do you keep the canope?

______________

A good time was had by all!, Jim how many new members did we sign up?

We had a GREAT location for watching the Vettes come into the parking area.  Foot traffic could have been better though.  We signed up about a dozen new members and had about half a dozen members renew for another year.  Handed out about 300 flyers from the booth so hopefully a bunch of them will join over the next few days.

I t was great seeing you again Jim and glad to hear you made the trip home without issue. I also tried to meet up with Bob Hamilton but we never got to meet up. I went by the C3VR camp, but seems they may have all been out spending money. Hope to see you again sometime.
