[Phoenix] boat show volunteer information

[Connie Johnson]

Booth is located at booth # 321 which is in the southwest corner of the small exhibitor area. If you are wearing a uniform and tell them you are working in a booth, you should be let in. Call 602-525-6318 if you have trouble getting in. There are worker badges, but history says if we leave them at the front desk or will call area, they never get returned back to there and then we are stuck. Again, if you are wearing a uniform you can usually get in. Please read through the following instructions. These will also be at the booth.

We are at the show to promote Phoenix Sail & Power Squadron as America’s Boating Club, specializing in basic boating education, advanced education, social activities and civic service. We intend to promote:
·        Our basic class to each show attendee.                               
·        Show the public how much fun we have in this organization. 
·        To establish an interest in membership through avenues such as education, possible insurance discounts, social activities, cruises and rendezvous, and overall fun.
 
Our volunteers are scheduled in mostly two hour blocks of time and no less than two persons at the booth at one time. If you plan to wander around the show, please come early or stay later. Please don’t leave the booth during your shift if at all possible. (Bathroom breaks are allowed, but please keep it short out of respect for your partner volunteer) 
 
We are trying to promote a professional image. No jeans or shorts please. Name badges should be worn also. 
 
There is a sign in sheet at the table so everyone will be sure to be submitted for their merit mark recommendation. Please remember to sign in and out with the time you volunteered at the booth. Please, last person of the day, put all non paper items and names under table out of sight to others. First person will pull out all under table things. 
 
We are not selling anything at our booth, only information and friendly persons. 
Please make sure all visitors to the booth are handed one of our tri-fold handouts to promote who we are and what we do. 
We will have a paper Boating test on the table also to give you something to talk about with people. 
 
Please be as friendly as possible and try to get them to sign up for a basic boating class coming in the near future. Schedules of classes will be on the table. Take names. Please do not keep a persons information on the table. There is a liability for someone’s information being mishandled. Only collect names and phone numbers and which area of town they are in so we can find a class near to them. 
 
Thanks again for volunteering. I am sure you will find this as satisfying to your own ego as it will be for all the show attendees. Be a Friend – Make a Friend – See you there!
