Did I forget anyone? If so, let me know!
By my count, there were 25 club members, including myself, involved this year.
We still could have used a few more of you, especially on Saturday for teardown,
and unloading the STEM items at the barn. Everyone was tired, so having a few more
volunteers would have made the job a lot easier and faster.
With over 100 members, I'd say that a 25% volunteer rate was pretty good.
Don't you think we ought to be able to increase that percentage rate for future events?
Please mark your calendars to volunteer next year.
Setup: Friday, April 23, 2027
Swapfest operating and teardown: Saturday, April 24, 2027
And don't forget that Loren, N9ENR will need volunteers for the Fall Swapfest this year!.
Setup: Friday, September 11, 2026
Swapfest operating and teardown: Saturday, September 12, 2026
Of course, the STEM committee will also need volunteers to help bringing items
and tables to and from the Fall Swapfest from the barn.
Volunteering for the club is a good thing.
