Wed Sep 17 22:16:02 EDT 2008

If someone from your camp is able to man the Virginia Division booth at 
the State Fair on Tuesday, Sept. 30, please contact Cmdr. Rob Millikin 
as soon as possible. I would like to thank those camps who have signed 
up so far to assist Rob with this important recruitment and public 
relations effort. We could not do it without you.

Virginia Division SCV

Gentlemen,

One day left to cover!!  James City Cavalry had to change their date 
from Tuesday Sept to Thursday Oct 2^nd , so we need a Camp to cover 
Tuesday Sept 30.

Confederately,

Rob Millikin

*Subject:* State Fair

The Virginia Division is once again sponsoring a booth at the upcoming 
State Fair  of Virginia .

We need a Camp to man the booth each day of the Fair to sell Division 
items and distribute recruiting information.  Each Camp ideally needs 4 
to 6 men to volunteer to man the booth. We need two to three men to work 
the first half of the day and two to three men to work the last half of 
the day. Please contact your Camp members and ask if anyone wants to 
volunteer.

Camp members need to be at the Fair 30 minutes before and after the 
operating hours of the Fair to set-up and pack up.

Jerry Wells, who is a big part to the success of the booth at the State 
Fair will not be available to help this year.  So what this means to you 
is that I need a person, ideally a retired member who can be at the 
booth each morning to assist on the setup and then on every other day to 
assist in closing the booth for the evening.  This member would receive 
a parking pass and admission pass for the whole event time.  I would 
also need this member to help me setup the booth and take it down.  

Do you have a member that can do this??   If a member does not come 
forward to help, then what that will mean is that each Camp will have to 
setup and take down the booth with only written instructions to go by.  
Also, on the nights that I don't come up then the Camp would be 
responsible for counting and depositing the money collected that day.  
In past years when we have tried this, we had mixed success.  So, I am 
really hoping that someone will come forward to help.

Also, the State Fair is requiring a list of workers in order for vendors 
to order additional tickets, so I will also need from you a list of 
names that will be manning the booth.  

The list doesn't have to be the accurate, everybody knows things change 
and there are last minute additions or subtractions, but I do need to 
give the State Fair a schedule of names to order tickets.

Thank-you,

Rob Millikin
