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.
