Help Needed! Independence Market at National Convention

Shopping at the Independence Market is one of the highpoints of the convention for many attendees—especially for the hundreds of members who haven't had the opportunity yet to come to the Market in Baltimore and browse through the many items offered. The task of recreating the Market for a few days each year at the convention is a huge one, and it takes generous Federationists to perform this service for our fellow members. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

When and Where

The dates and times that we need help are as follows:

*	Wednesday, July 6, 2022
Shift 1 - 8:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
Shift 2 - 12:45 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
*	Thursday, July 7, 2022
Shift 1 - 8:00 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
Shift 2 - 12:45 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Shift - 12:00 - 1:45 p.m.
*	Saturday, July 9, 2022

What Help is Needed?

We are looking for folks who can be product demonstrators, pay station attendants, order writers, and storekeepers. We are looking for folks who want to meet other convention attendees, enjoy a fast-paced environment, and are eager to help where they can.

Don't forget to ask your friends who are coming to convention to help out as well.
