Re: [mou-net] MOU state fair booth

[Mark Alt]

It was in my term as President of the MOU. I would guess 2005, after the
owl invasion. I headed up the negaotiations with Carroll Henderson andrhe
DNR then Carroll put me in contact with many others that made it happen.
The booth came about because Carroll and I displayed beside each other in
the Owotanna Cabela's one day. people were streaming past us but no one
stopped i drew up a large sign for the table "ask us about birds" and we
had a crowd the rest of the day...

[mou-net] MOU state fair booth

[Tom Bell]

Kate Kelnberger and Jen Vieth, MOU State Fair Booth Coordinators, are seeking 
some information. They asked Elizabeth and myself, because they knew we had 
been volunteering for all the time they could remember, but I do not recall 
when the MOU had its first booth outside the DNR building. My recollection is 
that MOU and Audubon Minnesota together had a booth in the Education Building 
prior to moving the DNR building, I remember staffing that booth. Our hope is 
that someone out there in the birding community remembers.

[mou-net] MOU State Fair Booth needs volunteers this weekend.

[MOU admin]

(Posted by Jennifer Vieth jbaines...@aol.com via moumn.org)

We are still in need of some volunteers for Labor Day weekend.
We have at least one volunteer per shift-but those hardy people would probably 
love to have 
company. Please contact me directly if you need assistance signing up on the 
google calendar.

Thank you all for your help promoting MOU, birds and bird conservation.

This is a great excuse to do something good for birds and the M.O.U. and  
get into the fair free.

relative as the second volunteer that is ok. We have 9 empty shifts and  four 
shifts that just need a second volunteer.

Monday 8/31: One spot from 5 - 9 p.m.
Tuesday 9/1: Two spots from 5 - 9 p.m.
Wednesday 9/2: Two spots from 5 - 9 p.m.
Thursday 9/3: One spot from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.  Two spots  from 5 - 9 p.m.
