I have created this thread so people can put the date and time they are able to volunteer. The boat show hours are; 19th & 20th 12p - 9p, sat 21st 10a - 9p, and sunday the 22nd 10a - 5p. I will have a schedule posted by the first week in january and get it finalized shortly after. The purpose of the schedule is simply to make sure we don't have too many or not enough people at any one time. Thank you all in advance for volunteering your time for this event.
-
I can offer my time in the evenings thursday and friday and one or the other Sat or Sunday.
I could help set up the day before too if needed.
Ross
-
I am available Thursday and Friday evening and all day Saturday and Sunday. As well as set up and take down.
-
I'm also available Thursday and Friday evening and all day Saturday and Sunday.
-
I am available all day Thursday.
-
Update: I'd prefer to opt out of Thursday night since I have a fairly long drive home and have to work Friday. Looks like there wont be a shortage anyway.
-
I could do Thursday Night, Friday Night or any time Sunday.
-
I can fill in where needed I would be avaiable for a few days if need be. Sean let me know where you could use some more people.
-
Glyn can work all day Friday or Saturday, plus 1pm-5pm closing on Sunday.
I've got 2-3 director chairs I can bring too. Let me know...
-
Shawn; maybe friday not sure when we'll need people the most yet.
-
Ok I will be faxing in a list of our volunteers so we can get badges for the boat show. I will be faxing this list on wednesday the 4th. If you have not yet said you would like to volunteer please do so as soon as you can. We will be able to pick up the badges in lobby D.
-
Try to get more than two badges per day. Or is each badge good for each person EVERY day? i may come Saturday and Sunday weather you need me or not.
-
They'll have your name and be good for the whole show.

Shawn
I can help Thrus, Fri evenings after 4:30pm and all Day Sat. I know that thrus and Fri are kind of short but it is the best I can do.
Let me know if any there is anything you need. And thanks again for taking care of this.
I will pitch in on the Denny's breakfast also.
-
I'd be more than happy to man the booth. Sounds like the evenings and weekend spots are full but any of those times would work for me, but if we need more help Thurs or Fri I could take an afternoon off work.
-
Josh, No day is full! The more the better.
-
Sean, I can fill in where needed, and will most likely plan to be down there a couple of the show days for sure.
Thanks,
Scott E
-
Sean,
Perhaps post a tentative volunteer list on this site before turning it into the organizers of the Minneapolis Boat Show just to make sure we have included all those who wish to help with the Glastron Booth.
-
Sean - I could do Thursday noon to 5 PM
-
I'll put up a preliminary list tomorrow morning. I'll send that list with any changes needed wednesday. (This will just be a list of people wanting to volunteer so I can make sure they have a badge at will call.) The schedule can be worked out over the next week. EDIT:I will need first and last names on the badge form so I will not be sending it wednesday, hopefully friday.
-
Please add Kelly & me to the list. Not sure what days we'll be there, a couple for sure.

Along with the badges for those working the show I'd ask for some comp tickets. It would nice if some were available for wives, etc. plus some for our regular members who would just like to attend and see our clubs display.
Most events are very generous on comp tickets when a group is supplying a display at no cost to the show producers such as we are doing. 25-50 is not out of line.

-
Please add the following to the list for volunteering:
Allan Pfromm - Green with Envy
Pam Pfromm - Mrs Green
Conner Pfromm - Bloodline
Mark Kania - Booster Member (32ft Carver at last years Red Wing meet)
Amy Kania - Wife
I am willing to tow a boat to the show (Twin Cities) (Jason??) I can take a 'well deserved' vacation day to help set up one of the pre-show days, too.
-
Because I need last names as well I will put up the preliminary list tomorrow. Some of you have provided your last name and some of you I already know it. I will revise my list and post it tomorrow.
-
I can be there any or all of the days. But I will be there Friday afternoon, Saturday and most of Sunday for sure. Let me know if you need Thursday as well. My schedule is that whole weekend.

Ok, I found out yesterday that we are allowed 12 badges. You get a certain number of badges based on your floor space, in our case 30' x 40'. Here is what Jennifer told me Leave generic badges at the Will Call desk in Lobby D. Many groups do this. You just tell your volunteers to check in at the desk and say they are with the Classic Glastron Assoc. and the registration staff will just check their name off on the envelope and give them a badge. Your volunteers can just turn their badge in at the end of the shift. The badges can just say “Volunteer” or “Staff”. You just give us the list of names. The badges are just to be used to get you past security, once you are in the show you don’t have to wear it.
Here is the list so far
Brian & Sara Amberg
Jim & Kelly Barrett
Brian & Lisa Bergstrom
Tim Cichosz - CVX-18
Josh Craig
Gregg Durden
Scott Eidsvoog - CVX-20
Jesse Gully
Kip Hartung
Ross Labelle
David Pankonin
Sean Pearson
Shawn & Jessica Pehrson - CV-16
Allan & Pam Pfromm
Jeff Rockwell
Jason & Jamie Smith - V-172
Glyn & Cindy Thorman - GT-150
This means we can only have 12 people there at any one time which shouldn't be much of a problem. Please let me know if I forgot your name, I will work on a schedule based on people's availability and probably post that over the weekend. I will work more on comp tickets as well.
-
Sean - Kip Hartung
-
Looks like a great list! Can't wait!
-
Ok, Amy made a word spread sheet for the preliminary schedule. I did not put Jim, Shawn, Allan, Scott, or Brian B. because I do not have your availability yet. Please feel encouraged to tell me to add/remove your days and times, I just want to make sure we have someone there at all times.
-
I will be over in the area on thurs I could come about 2 or 3 depends when I am done at my appointment. Also I am pretty flexible when do you need someone to fill in? I will be there Sunday for sure cause I will need to bring the boat home. Like I said I am pretty open for the weekend just let me know when you need me and I should be able to make it. Also do we have scheduled times to bring the boats?
-
Is the schedule posted somewhere?
Allan
-
Hey Allan, it's in an attached word doc a couple posts back.
Small change of plans that weekend. I can do the Thursday and Sunday shifts I'm on the schedule for but we had to change Liam's fifth birthday party o Saturday so that day won't work. Hopefully we have enough volunteers to cover it.
Thanks and can't wait!
-
Found the doc - needed my glasses!!
OK, I'm not seeing how this works. There is a name in a one-hour block. Does that mean that person is woking the show from the hour their name appears to the end of the day? Or, only working for that hour only? Can we put names in all the blocks for all the hours volunteered. (like the way a calendar or appointment book does) This way we can see what needs to be filled.
Also, I have Wednesday off. I'd prefer not to sit down at the Convention Center all day if nothing is to be done. Is there a setup schedule or plan for Wednesday?
Does anyone need their boat towed down Wednesday?
I have a bolt of 20 yds of black fabric to cover trailers if needed.
Allan

Looks workable (the schedule). A shift starts with the box with your name and stops where the down arrow stops is the way I read it. IE: Thursday, Jesse. Starts at 12 noon, stops at 7pm, Jason starts at 5pm, stops at 9pm. Correct?
Shawn's bringing down my two director chairs with the GT-150 on Wednesday.
If we don't get any comp tickets, maybe we can add guests to the master list. After allowing for the workers they would then be available first come, first served. Hopefully, some comp tickets will become available.
-
No arrows on my version when opening on my PC. I'll check on my phone next...

Shawn, I might have you take my Thursday if you can, Sara is out of town for work until Friday.
-
I see arrows!!
Thanks
-
Nice work Sean! I'll be there Thursday.
-
Ya Brian I can take Thurs for you.
Who is coming to Breakfast on Sat? Would be nice to have everyone that will be working the show be there so we can smooth out the details. Also I have the fliers I will bring a few on Sat for everyone to look at.
What is the boat drop off schedule do we know yet?
-
I'll be there Saturday!
-
I might be there Sat , could possibly be out of town.
-
I'll be there Saturday. I owe Jerry a breakfast!
-
Ill be there
-
Jim B and myself will be there Saturday morning. See you all then.
-
Keep in mind guys that the start of the first schedule in the mornings is also the start of the show. Give yourself some lead time to get acclimated before the show opens. IE: Some housekeeping, locate the brochures, rehearse your greeting line to guests, get coffee, etc. I'd say 30 minutes would be good. Might want to plan and allow for overlap time with the previous shift too.
-
I owe Jerry a breakfast!
Jason,
You should bring plenty of extra cash, Jerry drinks Bloody Marys for breakfast ;)
See you there ;D
-
OK I can not view the schedule file. What is a !&@# .docx file? ???
Thought it might be a typo and saved it as a .doc but it doesnt like that either.

Ross
Go back to "Reply 42" on "Page 3" of this thread ...
Can you see that ?
-
Yup I saw that and it appears to be the whole thing. I thought it was a snap shot at first to show the arrows.
I just thought I might print it out. Thats fine. Thanks
-
Ross
If you don't have Microsoft Office on your computer, I have an older version ( MS Office 2003 ) your welcome to install ...
Let me know and I'll bring it to the next Denny's meet ...
-
I at least have some of Office but I'm not sure how old. Newer then 2003 I think. I'll check it out. I just copied and pasted it into an email and I can print that.
Thanks
I just looked that the properties of Word and Excel and it said 2003
-
You might need a "Patch" to get doc's made in MS Office 2007 & 2010 to read in the 2003 version ...
Click on "Windows Updates" and check in the "Optional" list.
-
Can we get an answer on those comp tickets please?
-
I have attached the revised schedule, there are very few changes, if you do not see your name on the schedule that means I haven't been told or can't remember your availability. Thank you very much to everyone for donating your time to this event.
-
Sean,
If you don't need me Thursday I'd prefer not to be there as I plan to be there all day Saturday and Sunday.
Trying to save a little on parking and gas.
If you need me, I'll make it work.
-
I've got some free regular tickets for the show. If members need any, drop me an e-mail (ThormanG@aol.com). Priority will be given to the family members of owners of displayed boats and family members of those volunteers who are working the show.
(If you are a volunteer and on the exhibitor name list, you get in for free already.)
Regular tickets are $10 but kids 15 and younger get in for free.

Thanks! sorry for the late notice, I overlooked another engagement
-
At this point I can not read the revised schedule but if mine hasnt changed, then I dont need to. I'll try to open it from work on Friday and see what happens.
Anyone have any recommendations on parking at the Convention Center? I havent been there in years.
-
The Mpls Boat Show website has a list of parking lots. I am going to use the underground Mpls. convention center parking lot. Free outdoor sidewalk parking is limited and you would have to walk a far distance.
-
on the South West side there is a metered lot that gives you 4 hours, I go there often for trade shows and I always have luck parking there. You can get away for about $5 for the day vs. the $10-20 that the garages will charge.
Option #2 is on the North East side, there is a lot across the street that is usually $10 but it fills quickly.
-
Jim B and myself will be there Saturday morning. See you all then.
Scott was replying to the breakfast meeting on Saturday 1/14.
He will not be able to make it Saturday morning, 1/21 to the Boat show but I'll be there.
I'll stick around til 4:00 or so.
I will also be be there Sunday, Late shift as I will be pulling Scott's CVX home for him.

Thanks for the clarification jim
