BVARC does not want to be put into a position of judging how much volunteer
time is required to get free admission: Is it 15 minutes; 2 hours; 8 hours; a
5 day work week; longer? BVARC does not "pay" members to provide their time to
help BVARC. It is a "volunteer" organization. Furthermore, most of those who
help drive out there anyway to attend the Hamfest. Additionally, do you expect
members to be paid to operate?
Go figure!

Mike,
Any of us volunteering our time should not be required to buy entrance to
Hamfest. I planned to do VE testing Saturday. Now I hear I have to also pay
to walk the tables after driving all the way out there to volunteer our time?
Thats messed up Buddy. And you know it is. And my complaint applies to ANY
operators volunteering their time. Even setting up tables, Sir

Volunteers Needed – Greater Houston HamFest
Needing volunteers for two critical areas.
1. Table Set-up and Tear-down
A scheduling conflict has recently arisen with the group whoset up the tables
and the podium at the Greater Houston HamFest. Three to four people are needed
to do thiswith it taking 2 to 3 hours for setup and about 2 hours to teardown.
The critical time is the setup. You are not necessarily being asked to
helpwith both setup and teardown.
Setup tentatively will take place between about 10 and 1 onthis coming
Thursday, February 29 (the day before the actual Hamfest starts). These 3
hours can be varied if tooinconvenient. Someone will be there mostof the day
tending to this and other pre-hamfest work; In addition to the 2 – 3hours for
table setup, we need other volunteers for an hour or two at any timethroughout
that day (Thursday). Teardownstarts immediately after the Hamfest ends at 3PM,
Saturday, March 2. If you can help, please contact Mike Hardwick,N5VCX at
n5...@att.net or at 713-826-6917.
2. Loading and Unloading
To help both vendors and support for the hamfest, volunteersare needed to help
load and unload vehicles. Some of the areas needed aresupport for Robert
Polinski with the PA system, HRO unloading their truck, HAMWEARSunloading their
vehicle and several other vendors. The time on this starts onThursday at 9 am
and continues off and on throughout the hamfest.
If you can spare 15 to 30 minutes Thursday, Friday or Saturdayin the morning or
afternoon, it will really be beneficial. If you can help, pleasecontact Mike
Hardwick, N5VCX at n5vcx@att.netor at 713-826-6917.
