We could use 2 helpers for ~45 minutes after the show ends Sunday for tearing down and packing the booth into my little car. That would be awesome if you can help!?! All volunteers will be added to the special GLBass Friends group if not already in there. And you will have my eternal thanks and appreciation!
BOOTH VOLUNTEERS SUMMARY
You will get more details in the private volunteers area of the forum. You will be able to see it once I add you to the temporary show group. I will state a few things now. I need people who can talk to others in an outgoing, friendly fashion about joining the websites - mostly GreatLakesBass.com and GreatLakesIceFishing.com, handing out stuff and just answering general questions about fishing. NO ALCOHOL in the booth. No sales of items not pre-approved by me before the show.
This is only a 10x10 booth so there's not a lot of room for extra friends and family to come and hang out in the booth.
Please NO extra people behind the table or blocking the table front who are not on the volunteer list. Busy show so I am shooting for 3 to 4 people at the booth at all times!! The schedule can be adjusted some to accommodate people willing to help who can't fit one of the existing time slots. THANK YOU!!!!
PS: Thank you Mike for helping bigtime with the volunteers list and also,
we have some additional work to do thanks to the animal rights nuts and the anti's so I can use extra people to manage a very important petition signing we'll be doing. You'll have to be registered to vote, or eligible to register to vote to handle the petition part - I believe we may have extra booth space to separate this out a little but I will need someone - preferably multiple someones - to constantly handle the petitions. More information in other postings. If more people want to volunteer I will edit the schedule, add extra times or change existing times! PLEASE let me (Dan) or Mikesmiph know!
This is what I have so far. Any problems, please let me know. Still some holes to fill, at least now you can see where they are. If anyone else wants to help, please let me know. Volunteer, at least 2 hours, and you get in the show free for the whole weekend.
I can be there from 4-6 on thursday if you need to fill the spot.
Steve smith
Slide me into a spot every day. I'll be there! 2 to 6 Thur, 10 to 4 Fri. After 11 on Sat. she is a keep-her, for the weekend
Just curious what you need help with during the show? Is it just manning the booth, handing out brochures, or what?
Most of the help needed is manning the booth, talking to people about the site, signing up new members. The biggest part of it is talking fishing. If we talk to people about this wonderful FREE site, they will sign up and hopefully become active members. Good question.
I can talk!!
Do you need any help setting the booth up previous to the show because I can assist on that matter also.
Help is always nice. It will be Wed, but don't have a time yet. Thanks
Let me know ASAP
that works for me see ya there.
Mike did you get my PM ?
Yes Don, you're on the schedule. Thank you
big D, I can work with T Bone on Friday from 2 - 4...and any other time you could use my help.
capt charlie
Not a "D", but I got you down. Thanks Charlie.

Looks like you got stuck with me and Mike. Oh boy. We're going to have some fun!
Oh yea its on !!!!
Hey Dan, does the booth have power this year?
Again, It's not Dan, but I'll answer. Yes the booth has power.
Late notice, I know, sorry. Set-up is Wed, from noon - 3. Anyone? I can't be there.
Maaaaybe. I'll have to check with the boss on Monday.
I can be there but I'm sure I'll require instructions from someone.
Dan will be there, just not me, I have to work. Message Dan, or call if you have his number. Thank you very much. The older Dan gets, the less I like him doing any heavy lifting by himself. LOL
Here's hoping the weather is better by Thursday!!
No worries. I have a 4 wheel drive Suburban.......and I'm not afraid to use it! Ok, my wife has a Suburban.

I'll be there as well.
1 or 2 extra persons there at setup is plenty. Please PM me if you want to help Wednesday with the time you could be there so I can coordinate when to arrive. It takes about 1 hour to setup and my time if between noon and 3pm to drive in the old Vibe full of stuff.
I might have a little more to setup this year. More than last year for sure with electricity back thanks to mikesmiph!! Still not too bad a deal to setup the booth.
We have a few extra things going on this year, but most of you just need to be able to talk about fishing to people as they walk on by during the actual show.
The electricity is thanks to Bass Minder, not me personally. I give credit when credit is due.
Was trying to hurry so it's good that you clarified for me! Thanks! You should link that Bass Minder to their website.

Can't remember if I got back with you between the 9 day power/Internet outage and this wonderful f/u snow storm? If you can talk to people about fishing, answer some questions, tell them about joining the free website(s) - GreatLakesBass.com at least, then you can be a BIG help!

Me too! Z (http://www.markzona.com) is there on Thursday and it'd be nice if he makes it and lots of people come out to see him. And all the rest of the great stuff!
Okay - IMPORTANT: I've updated all the times to make sure they are correct. I've added in some additional slots and updated some of your schedules INCLUDING adding additional times. Please let me and/or Mikesmiph know if you need a change for some reason.
As I added in, we will be participating in a legal voter petition drive so I can use additional volunteers to 'supervise' that part and get signatures from registered voters. You do not have to deal with the petitions if you don't want to. It will be a separate activity for those willing to help to protect our sport from animal rights people and the November referendum against scientific fish and game management.
I'll be setting up the private board and adding you all to it later tonight for complete rules and volunteer exhibitor information.
We may have a larger booth to help handle to petition drive and spread out some activities we'll be doing at this show.
I don't have the budget to pay for parking. I would if I did. If you are coming more than 2 days from Thursday through Sunday for any reason, you can buy a $10 4-day parking pass ON THURSDAY ONLY if you can make it there to get it. I won't be able to buy a bunch for you though if you can get $10 to me for that before Thursday I can buy extra passes and figure out a way to get them to you. The storms have tapped out my budget between electricians, generator gas and food losses/cost.

2 people at work asked who he was and who was Gerald Swindell.
We can't all be perfect. :)
Anyone who is on the volunteers list should also now be able to see the child board private only for identified GreatLakesBass.com show volunteers. There's more detailed information for volunteers in a post under that board.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you can't see the board (only volunteers can see the board - if you don't volunteer no secrets for you - neener neener).
The path to the volunteers board is: Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum > Bass Fishing > Ultimate Fishing Show Detroit > UFS Helpers Information
When you first enter the Ultimate Fishing Show Detroit board look for UFS Helpers Information child board at the very top.

Can you help 3 to 5 on Thursday? Or 4 to 6? If not, thanks for helping on Friday.
I took you off Saturday.
I'm going to need to track down some more Saturday people. We will be busy with too little help. Can anyone else volunteer?
We have 20 feet right now so we can have someone, or multiple someones running the petition signature requests too. It's pretty important to all of our goals of scientific management and more fishing opportunity. Thanks.

We'll be there all day, both days
Mike : put me down for 2-4 Sat and 3-5 teardown Sunday.
Done, than for the help
Dan/Mike - I'll talk to you at the show today about what else you need on Saturday and see if I can help.
