[blindkid] Fwd: Looking for workers

[Carol Castellano]

Hi Everyone,

Here is a message from Peggy Chong who coordinates our wonderful 
Braille Book Flea Market which will take place on Monday, July 5, 
right after our NOPBC annual meeting.  Peggy is looking for 
volunteers to assist with the flea market.

Please note:  during the noon to 5 slot, when the flea market gets 
set up, several events will be going on:
    * 1 - 4:15  NOPBC Annual Meeting
    * 1 - 2:30  NOPBC Science activity for children 11 - 14
    * 3 - 4:30  NOPBC Peer-to-Peer Technology activity for children 11-18
    * 3 - 4:30  NOPBC Science activity for children 14 - 18
So Peggy's call for teens might not work at that time.  Please also 
note that she is looking for parents to work at the flea market itself.

If you can volunteer and/or pass Peggy's message along to your 
contacts, we would appreciate it.

Thanks and looking forward to a great convention!
Carol

>Hello:
>
>I am looking for workers for the flea market.  I will certainly need some
>parents during the event to be behind the tables and ensuring that the
>shoppers get all the volumes of their books.
>
>I need people from noon till 5 to help set it up.  I need people that are
>willing to put a bit of muscle into the job.  We have been getting done
>before 4:30 lately.  Hope we can again this year.
>
>I know that the parents will be in meetings.  But if there are grandparents,
>teenagers or friends that can be there for four hours, I would be pleased to
>have them.  we need braille readers too, but we also need those that can
>open, sort and stack the books as well as prep all the boxes for mailing and
>set up the mailing station.
>
>If you could please circulate this email to the parents and have them get
>back to me so I have some kind of count for workers, I would appreciate it.
