Title: Ultimate Fishing Show Detroit 2012 Volunteers Signup
Post by: djkimmel on December 06, 2011, 11:09:51 PM
UPDATED 12/31/11 (12:55PM): Booth 2319 - This is the volunteer need schedule for the 2012 Ultimate Fishing Show Detroit. Volunteers who work at least 2 hours will get a free exhibitor pass to the show that is good for the whole show as long as you show up and help at least two hours.

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 my websites, 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 for any length of time. Please limit the extra people behind the table. Mike Smith is managing the booth for this show since I will only be there Thursday. He and Veronica will be there a lot, but will need breaks.

Thursday, January 12

I have to leave for Brazil on Friday so I will only be there Thursday. mikesmiph / Mike Smith will be the goto guy for any changes or official booth stuff. He will also be tearing down on Sunday at 5pm so if 1 or 2 of you can help, that would be awesome! 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!

Have we got a volunteer list wrote up yet?
Title: Re: Ultimate Fishing Show Detroit 2012 Volunteers Signup
Post by: djkimmel on December 12, 2011, 03:01:57 PM
I will start filling in a draft list probably Wednesday evening. I will be unable to do it until then. Hopefully we get a few more volunteers to help yet so the booth is well covered. Thanks!

8 volunteers isnt going to cut it. Veronica is getting nervous. Come on GLB people. I know you're going to be there anyway. Give us 2 hours please. Less than a month away.
Title: Re: Ultimate Fishing Show Detroit 2012 Volunteers Signup
Post by: djkimmel on December 18, 2011, 03:37:46 AM
I think I have one or two more through PM. I'll get a draft up tomorrow. Got behind earlier in the week. Medical stuff. Getting back at it again!
Title: Re: Ultimate Fishing Show Detroit 2012 Volunteers Signup
Post by: djkimmel on December 19, 2011, 08:29:46 PM
I've added in some draft times for each of you who contacted me. Please review the days and times. Let me know if any of them will not work for you or if you have questions. Some people could only work specific times so I may not be able to accommodate all swap requests. Some of you offered some flexibility but I do not intend to over work a volunteer so let me know if it is too much.

I can use a few more helpers at this time still. Thanks!

LAPORTE, I've been suffering from exacerbated CRS disease the past week and a half. I forgot to check the original announcement again and missed you, fiker and bob o. t-bone thanks for offering to help also. I will check a couple PM's I have and then adjust the schedule. Thanks for your patience and willingness to help!

Not me. We should nominate someone!?! Looks like Veronica nominated LAPORTE!

Post by: djkimmel on December 20, 2011, 02:30:51 PM
Okay, the list is updated again. Made some changes based on 'finding' my missing volunteers on the original show announcement thread. The public post here and the private schedule should match. If you are a volunteer, you should have your name in for a badge and be able to see the private list with some updated information. Let me know if you see any issues. Thanks!

If more people want to volunteer, that is fine as long as you can help for a minimum of 2 hours. We can use up the 3 people in the booth at a time. Mike will be there but I don't expect him to be in the booth the entire time all 4 days. He will need breaks. Just let me know. Thanks!

Might need some extra help from 4-6pm on Thursday, end of the day Friday because it can be busy some years or any time or probably anytime Saturday afternoon when it can be real busy. Can you do a couple hours on one of those days?

Thanks!  Can do both Friday 7-9:30 PM and Saturday 3-5 pm or later if needed.  I will check out the private forum once I'm added.  Look forward to it.

I am pretty sure I could help out for a few hours, but haven't figured out what days I can be there yet.

Dan, what day/times are the biggest need?  I will have to work Thurs. and Friday until around 5ish.
Title: Re: Ultimate Fishing Show Detroit 2012 Volunteers Signup
Post by: djkimmel on December 30, 2011, 04:20:51 PM
We have a pretty good crew right now. We might be able to use some more help on Saturday. I never know about Sunday. I can be busy early or slow year-to-year. There seems to be some extra excitement and interest this year though so we may be busier. I'll get back with you tonight or tomorrow.
