[Nfbwv-talk] Independence Market at National Convention

[Smyth, Charlene R]

This message is for West Virginia Federationists who are planning on attending our national convention.

So far, I know of the following people who are planning on attending:  Ed, Karen, Sheri, Marcus, Brad, Joe, Trish, and Mary Ann.  If anyone knows of anyone else who is attending, please pass their names on to me.

Please let me know as soon as possible if I can or cannot submit your name for the following:

The national office is beginning to put together the schedules for the aids and appliances demonstrators/helpers, storekeepers/pay station attendants, and cashiers at the NFB Independence Market for our 2015 National Convention.

They want to know of those who can work so that they can be given an assignment this year.

They are anxious to get the assignments out, so we need to get back to them 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.  They are working vigorously to make each position one that a blind or sighted person will be able to help with.  At this time, the storekeeper/pay station attendant and cashier positions possess elements that would require them to have a sighted person in these jobs.  The shift times they will assign will be the same as the demonstrators/helpers, with the exception of cashiers.  The days the cashiers work, their shifts will be extended to accommodate the count out procedure at the end of the shift.  They are trying to have more of a compliment of volunteers in these positions this year, so we are requested to look inside our affiliate and let them know of capable, willing people.
