NAFR25 - Need volunteer & coordinator help

[Laura&Jerry]

VOLUNTEERS MAKE THE RALLY WHAT IT IS!

When Jerry and I attended our first rally several years ago we sat back and watched without stepping up and volunteering. It was a big mistake on our part because we missed getting to know more about the rally and getting to know other attendees that first year.

So, if you want to get involved, whether it's just volunteering to help or willing to be a volunteer coordinator we will truly appreciate you.

Each member of your Wagon Master Team has been assigned classes, seminars, tours and functions to overall coordinate. Each of those assignments needs assistance to help run a successful event. The volunteer does NOT have to teach any classes. The volunteer coordinator is the Point of Contact (POC) for the course, event or function.

Jerry and Laura are looking for volunteers/coordinators for:
1. ASA In-Command Presentation.***Larry and Kaprice Crawford have volunteered to coordinate this.***

2. Keystone Plant Tour-Just schedules attendees to tour times and date. ***David and Beate Powell have volunteered to coordinate all Keystone events.***

3. Keystone Customer Service Tour- same as plant tour.
***David and Beate Powell have volunteered to coordinate Keystone tours.***

4. Keystone Lunch & Presentation-Keystone provides the meal and volunteer coordinator organizes other volunteers to hand out meals.***Sam and Marcia Davies have volunteered to coordinate this with the assistance of Tom and Marsha Beswetherick and Lee and Renee Kleinjan.***

5. Keystone Empowerment Center-same as plant tour if this takes place at Keystone.

6. Lippert-Leveling Basics Presentation and Slide out Basics Presentation.

7. Montana 101-The outside presentation.

8. Pet Parade-Will be in the late afternoon/early evening at the nightly campfire. Hope that in the later part of day we can get better participation with both pet owners and observers.

9. Photography-this volunteer coordinator usually gets 4 or 5 others to just take pictures of the various events they attend, download on the memory sticks provided by us and submit those pictures at the end of each day. We have audiovisual volunteers who then play those throughout the rally.

10. Saturday Night Social-This is a BYOB, snacks or other goodies that attendees bring for a fun filled gathering. We would like a theme if possible. ***Donna and Barry of CarolinaCampers have volunteered to coordinate this.***

11. CPR Cert, AED - Linda Wooderson has volunteered to coordinate this.

Just reach out if interested and we're looking forward to having you on the team.

Thank you. David and Beate its appreciated that you are stepping up. Would you like to coordinate the signing up of the factory tours? Keystone tours are usually only 20-30 individuals at a time and once we know those times and dates then you could schedule attendees.

On the days of packet pickups at the rally, the rally attendees will visit each specific event, signing up. You would be that person at the table signing them up and informing them of the date and times to be at Keystone.

Let me know for sure if you want to do this. I appreciate you both!

I'm not sure who is coordinating the nightly campfire at this time, but any help is always appreciated.

CarolinaCampers, Thank you for volunteering! Would love to have you set up the Saturday night social. Keystone is planning on providing the DJ for the event. There is still discussion on if we do a themed event. The MOC events are always wanting new ideas, new volunteers and the help. We will be in touch after our trip to Keystone in April.

Thanks again,
Laura & Jerry Thorsell

Thank you Sam and Marcia, we would love to have you coordinate that again. I have some other volunteers as well and maybe you could show them what we do and they can coordinate other meals as well.

Tom and Marsha Beswetherick will help with meal

Thank you, Tom and Marsha, for stepping up and volunteering. We would love to have you help with any meals. Not sure which sponsored meal with be the first one at the rally, so will keep you posted. Sam and Marcia Davies have the experience for the catered meals and we're hoping to match you and the other couple up with them to see how it's done if you haven't done it before. We will be traveling up to Keystone in April to start the coordinating for the rally and when we get back we will know more.

Thanks again,
