>> Table Logistics

>>
>>   *   NFBMI 50/50 Raffle Tickets ($5 each/ three tickets for $10
>>   *   Chocolate-Cherry Coffee 12oz bags ($12 each/ two bags for $20)
>>   *   Cell Phone Lanyards ($12 each/ two for $20
>> Note: There is a mix and match option for the lanyards and coffee, so
>> purchasing one of each will secure the $20 deal. Our raffle will be
>> conducted using an electronic ticket system, adding ease and speed for
>> people in the exhibit hall that don't have much time. For more information
>> on participating in the raffle, please contact a member of the fundraising
>> committee  or me at (269) 216-8640.

>> Working the Table
>> Yesterday, we confirmed that the table will need people to work shifts

>> fulfilled and usually exceeds expectations. Working the exhibit hall is a
>> wonderful way for you to meet guests, other affiliate members working, and
>> vendors that may stop by. It is also the way that first-time attendees get
>> to learn about what traditional items states usually sell each year
>> (Louisiana's spices, Virginia's peanuts, Michigan's coffee). So please, if
>> you are interested in working a shift and meeting some new people, respond
>> to this email directly or give me a call to register for a shift. Here are
>> the rules for working the table:
>>
>>   *   All shifts are two hours long.
>>   *   All shifts are worked by two people at a time.
>>   *   Any affiliate members receiving assistance from the affiliate is
>> required to work at least one shift.
>>   *   All people working a shift must work the entire shift.
>>
>> Here are the dates and times that shifts are currently available.
>> Remember, if you are by yourself when reserving I will match you with
>> someone else so that you do not work the table alone.
