Dear Michael:

 

We are beginning to put together the schedules for the Independence Market demonstrators/helpers, storekeepers/pay station attendants, line marshals, and cashiers at the NFB 2022 National Convention. We did not have anyone from Hawaii in 2019 work in the Independence Market.  

 

If you know of folks who can work, please add them to the list so that we can give them an assignment this year.

 

We are anxious to get the assignments out, so please get back to us as soon as possible. It is contemplated that each demonstrator/helper will work a four-hour (morning or afternoon) and a two-hour (lunch) shift. This is only a total of six hours.  

 

As you may be aware, there are other duties to be fulfilled in the market. The shift times we will assign to line marshals, storekeepers/pay station attendants, and cashiers will be a little longer than demonstrators. We are trying to make sure there are people to relieve the storekeepers, line marshals and time to give relevant information to each. The days the cashiers work, their shifts will be extended to accommodate the count out procedure at the end of the shift. We are trying to have more of a compliment of volunteers in these positions this year, so please look inside your affiliate and let us know of capable, willing people whom you would recommend.

 

Please do what you can to help us to have plenty of workers at the NFB Independence Market to assist our fellow members. We look forward to working with each of you on this important project.

 

Sincerely,

 

Jenivieve White
