Free books and DVD for Volunteers at DP Rendezvous!!

Hi everyone;

Attention!!! We call upon the mighty Forumite Volunteer Corps for assistance in our moment of dire need!

Yours truly is hosting the 2009 Dawn Patrol Rendezvous (official announcement forthcoming). I and my lovely wife, Alice, will also attempt to run a sizable booth where copies of THE STAND, THE QUEST and The Search for THE STAND DVD documentary will all be available, in addition to a live screen display of the documentary, a book signing area and an exhibit of the original painting by our own Russell Smith (applause!).

Since I am going to be somewhat occupied with hosting the entire event and my wife cannot possibly do everything on her own, we need three volunteers to help us set up, tear down and staff the booth for 3 to 4 hours per day in rotating shifts. Duties include assisting my wife in manning the booth, assisting the event host, helping with book sales and a few small errands, and remaining on call for any minor crisis (especially on Saturday – the big day).

In appreciation for your help, volunteers will receive a gift package including complimentary copies of THE STAND, THE QUEST and the two-disc collector’s edition of “The Search for THE STAND” on DVD and a supply of free Drench H20 water and Evo Energy drinks (total retail value $150).

We need three volunteers working two shifts each. Please sign up on this thread and specify the shifts you would like to cover. When you sign up, please PM me your cell phone number so we can make contact on site.

Friday
9-1pm, set up
1-5pm

Saturday
10-1:30pm
1:30-5pm

Sunday
10-1pm
1-4pm, tear down

We really appreciate your help. Thank you!

Stephen and Alice Skinner

Stephen,

This will be my first time to the Rendezvous, but I'll try to help with set up Friday morning.

Wish, you would have brought your books under our tent (Jack Eder) where I could help (I've got 2 helpers if I can keep them from running off). I really could help Alice there. Call me if this is something that can be done, we'd love to help. Christy

I need to call Jack, BTW. But the USAFA is putting my tent up by the main stage for obvious reasons. Hey... maybe you guys will have a surplus of manpower and can send us some.

Two helpers for Friday set-up

Stephen,

I asked my buddy if he also wanted to help set-up Friday morning in exchange for the books and video and he jumped at the chance. My cell phone number is 707-799-6382 and we will be in Dayton Wednesday evening. Give me your reply with your phone number and I'll give you a call as soon as we arrive.

I'm looking forward to meeting you Friday and to seeing everything at the Rendezvous.
