Volunteers – It is Your National, after all:

As mentioned previously we are a VERY small club. Fortunately we already have people from all over the country who have volunteered to help with this event, as I think it should be.  This event has become too large for most clubs to host entirely on their own.  If clubs realized that volunteers would be available to help, I think many more clubs would be willing to take on this task.  In this day of rapid communication there are many jobs that can be done that you do not need to live in the host city to do. We are building a framework and are counting on volunteers to come fill in.  Since our volunteer coordinator is also our show secretary for our fall specialty, we are waiting to launch our help wanted page on this site until after our November event. We will have jobs for ring stewards, help at our booth, hospitality, decoration, field work, track layers etc.  Assuming this event is a profitable adventure, we plan on making a donation to the Golden Retriever Foundation in honor of those people who volunteered for the 2009 National. If it is not profitable we will have thought it was a good idea. 

Attitude is everything!
 
As a national event we would like to have expertise where needed in our volunteers. We ask if you do not have the expertise in an area, please do not volunteer for that position.. Also, know yourself.  We need people who can have a positive and friendly attitude, even when in stressful situation. The  positive attitude of our volunteers will have a major impact on the end product. 
 
If you are interested in volunteering you will need to fill out the volunter form and send it to our volunteer coordinator,  Michelle.  We want EVERYONE who is volunteering to fill out the form to send to Michelle.  Even Sharon, the General/Show chair is sending in her form to Michelle.   There is a list below which will give you information as to what jobs are available on what days. This will be a fluid list.  As jobs are filled, they will be removed from the list.  As chairs think of additional help needed, it will be added to the list. 
 
If we have a surplus of volunteers, you may not be needed, however you will be listed in the GRNews for volunteering.  Your name will also be kept as backup in case someone is unable to fill their position.   If you are asked to fill a position and are unable to do so, your name will be removed from the volunteer list
 
We thank you in advanced for volunteering.  We have already been inundated with people wanting to volunteer.  We thank you all and look forward to your contacting  Michelle to volunteer officially.

Sharon Bolton
General Chair

We need ALL Volunteers to register with our volunteer coordinator so we can have a complete list of all who volunteer.  This is even for those who did not initially volunteer through this page, those who were solicited, and COGRC members. 

Thank you in advance!  Let's all work together to make
this National an Event To Remember!
