  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?

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 who set up the tables 
and the podium at the Greater Houston HamFest.  Three to four people are needed 
to do this with 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 help 
with both setup and teardown.



Setup tentatively will take place between about 10 and 1 on this coming 
Thursday, February 29 (the day before the actual Hamfest starts).  These 3 
hours can be varied if too inconvenient.  Someone will be there most of the day 
tending to this and other pre-hamfest work; In addition to the 2 – 3 hours for 
table setup, we need other volunteers for an hour or two at any time throughout 
that day (Thursday).  Teardown starts 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, volunteers are needed to help 
load and unload vehicles. Some of the areas needed are support for Robert 
Polinski with the PA system, HRO unloading their truck, HAMWEARS unloading 
their vehicle and several other vendors. The time on this starts on Thursday at 
9 am and continues off and on throughout the hamfest.



If you can spare 15 to 30 minutes Thursday, Friday or Saturday in the morning 
or afternoon, it will really be beneficial. If you can help, please contact 
Mike Hardwick, N5VCX at n5...@att.net or at 713-826-6917.

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
