NAFR24 - Parking volunteers

Are you ready for 2024 MOC Rally !
Registration has already started and volunteers are needed for the parking crew!

Not only do we need volunteers to help park but we are also looking for a volunteer(s) to coordinate the parking team this year!

This year we have two days for early arrivals so the parking team should only last the first 3 - 4 days and as some of you know, the parking team always has a great time!

[Click here to Volunteer]
[Click here to see who has Volunteered]



See everyone at the rally in Goshen!

Exclamation Nafr24 parking team information

Welcome to everyone on the parking team. The following information has a lot of copy and paste from Woody's NAFR23 threads. I am filling in for him this year and look forward to his return next year. PLEASE subscribe to this thread for any updates.

We do three different jobs on the "Parking Team". Waving, signing and escorting to the site by the Personal Parking Professionals (PPP).

Waving...
We will have one entrance at the rally that we prefer to use. There is more than one but the others can cause issues for the drivers. We would like to post a person or preferably two or more at Gate number three. We should have a canopy set up there and chairs. People at the gate will watch for Montys driving down East Monroe St (CR 34) both east and west bound. When they see one, they will wave hysterically to get their attention so they will turn in the correct entrance. A word of caution, the west bound ones can really sneak up on you. Once the Montys turn into Gate Three, they will make a right turn into the parking lot.

Signing...
Once people turn into the parking lot, we will have a "Parking Team" member greet the attendee and sign them in. AT this time the attendee is presented with their "Site Sign". This is a change from last year. Also, we will be using a different color marker for each of the two early arrival days as we check off the names of the arrivals. The WM's will provide us the lists for signing in.

We can answer some questions there and get them hooked up with their PPP. Sometimes there may be multiple rigs waiting for escorts but usually the escorts can take care of business quickly. There will be a canopy and table for use. There should be a cooler with water as well.

Escort Service...
This is where we need the most help. We will be sending out two escorts (PPP) with each rig. Hopefully we can put a rooky with a seasoned pro. At least until everyone goes pro. The escorts will guide the rigs to their parking site and remain with the rig until they disconnect or at least swear they won't move the rig. Sometimes the escorts will be asked to park the rigs. Most of the time we just spot and make sure the rigs are in the correct position. Escorts can do whatever they are comfortable with.

This is very important. The spots will be marked by painted lines on the ground. The rigs when parked and slides open, cannot infringe on their neighbors’ site. If a rig is misplaced, they will be asked to reposition to make themselves “legal”. Some of these sites are very tight. There is nothing we can do about this. We are using all of the full hook up, 50 amp sites in the campground. The WMs will be loaning us golf carts to assist with the escort duty. If you have rented a cart and want to get your money’s worth, then bring it with you for "Parking Team" participation. It also gives you shade and a seat for slow times. You can also use a bike if you want.

Escort teams will have a primary and secondary PPP. The secondary is mainly a spotter. Please ask the driver how much assistance they need before you start. This is to help avoid confusion.
We will have traffic flow guidance for parking to prevent bottlenecks. It may not be the quickest way to the site, but it keeps things running smooth.

The two early arrival days ( 9/3 & 9/4 ) should be busy so we will need all hands on deck. Thank you so much for your willingness to help.

If you have a spouse or companion who has not signed up but can help with the waving or signing-in, that would be great so that we can give team members a break.

I want to re

I want to reiterate to those who have a spot in the 400 loop for Monday's (9/2) arrival to wait until after Noon to arrive and park. We need to allow time for those Grand Design folks to vacate. This arrival date and time is only for those who have one of the 7 sites provided for the parking team. You know who you are.

We would like to have a briefing meeting similar to last year to go over procedures and any last minute instructions from the WMs. Perhaps we could do a potluck dinner. Any team members who may be staying close by and would like to attend are more than welcome. We could dine about 6PM and start the meeting at 7PM. Please let me know your thoughts.

All parking team members arriving on 9/3 or 9/4 are welcome to arrive as early as they can (encouraged). All other attendees are not to arrive before 12 NOON to give us time to get organized for that day. I know I am repeating some things but better to be over informed than not informed.
This is only my second rally so I am still learning.

Unfortunately the Fryer's won't get there until the afternoon on the 4th due to schedule conflict so I can't repeat the Chili feed this year. Sorry folks, I know we all had a good time and full belly.

Parking Volunteer - Arriving Tuesday

The Savage's are not one of the chosen 7 to arrive on Monday, but we can be there by 10 am on Tuesday morning. David is signed up for the parking team, but Peggy will be able to help on Tuesday if needed.

We both are excited about our second rally.

Reading previous posts, it sounds like only 7 campers of the parking volunteers can arrive on Monday. Those scheduled to arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday are encouraged to arrive early on those days. Our early arrival is Tuesday. If we are able to arrive on Monday, we would attend the meeting and potluck.

Last year we didn't have one of the 10 spots for the advance team but I wanted to attend the briefing meeting so we drove from VA that day and stayed at the RV Hall of Fame Museum overnght (which is free dry camping). That allowed us to drive down to the fairgrounds to attend that meeting even though we missed the chili dinner.
It was just a thought but I understand if doesn't work for you. Everything should work out since most of the team members signed up are pros at this. I am still an apprentice.

Arrival procedures

The arrival procedures have been posted at NAFR24 - Arrival Procedures for ALL ATTENDEES

All parking team members please review the Arrival Procedures thread at:
https://www.montanaowners.com/forums...ad.php?t=91488

We are only a month away. For the Monday evening potluck ( and briefing meeting) I will bring a dessert or two and some salad fixings. Maybe a cheese tray too.

Steve Knight said they could bring a couple of Pork Butts.
