[VAcourier] Virginia State Fair (September 24 - October 4 at Meadow Event Park near Kings Dominion)

[Virginia Division SCV Communication List]

Cmdr. Rob Millikin sent us the e-mail below and he is once again 
accepting names for camps/members who wish to work at the Virginia State 
Fair. If your camp would like to participate this year, please contact 
Rob and sign up for one of the available days of your choice (or more 
than one if you prefer). I would like to thank each of you ahead of time 
for volunteering to assist in this worthwhile effort. It is our chance 
to talk to the public, increase membership, and answer questions about 
our heritage.

______________________________________________________

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

The Virginia State Fair will be September 24, 2009 to October 4, 2009 at 
Meadow Event Park. This is near Kings Dominion, Exit 98 off I-95 in 
Doswell.   

We need a Camp to man the booth each day of the Fair to receive 
donations from the public and hand out Division items, do recruiting and 
distribute recruiting information , handout stickers, talk to the 
public, etc.   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. Check the dates below 
to see which ones are still available. 

I need a person (doesn't have to be a Compatriot) who can assist me in 
the evening on every other day  to close the booth for the evening.   
This would include taking the money less "start-up" money, covering the 
tables with table clothes, etc.

This member would receive a parking pass and admission pass for the 
whole event time.    

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  close the booth down  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, it has not worked.  So, I am 
really hoping that someone will come forward to help. 

I already have a Compatriot that can open the booth each day and give 
instructions to the 1st shift. This event is the Division's largest 
Heritage Defense Fund money raiser and recruiting event. It's a lot of 
fun and rewarding to man the booth, the public really does support our 
Cause.

Thank-you,
Rob Millikin
