Volunteers needed for national convention - July 2019

[Bob K.]

Volunteers are still needed to help with this year's National Convention in Greenville, SC. If you would like to help, please contact Steve Heck, sheck327@gmail.com. We especially need help on Sunday and Monday for the moving and parking cars. These will not be all day assignments but 3-4 hour shifts. So e-mail Steve and let him know your availability and sign up on the volunteer sheet at the end of the convention registration.

Thanks
Bob Kinstrey

Just so I understand, The club has almost a million dollars in assets and it costs $160, not counting travel and lodging expenses, to "volunteer"?
What is wrong with this picture?

I thinking Bob is addressing his request for help from those registered to attend.

For those not registered but willing and able to assist on the days pointed out there my be a work around.

For those days when things are being set up or emptied out and the event is not entirely underway I would contact Bob and see if he can allow volunteers who haven't registered in those time periods. That shouldn't be a stretch. Simply a management decision.

On those days when the event is in progress guests can pay an admission of something like $10.00 and proceed to see Bob. Ask if they can help out from there. The non-participation rule for one day admissions technically will preclude this. Then again it could be a simple management decision

Do your homework first by checking with Bob before hand.

It doesn't need to be dark as alluded to.

NCRS Members
FYI the $10.00 deal for volunteers is for Carolina Chapter ONLY members as they needed extra Volunteers for the start of their National . All other NCRS members need to register for the National event.
As always we would appreciate all the volunteers we can get. Just check the volunteer box on your national registration form.
Thank You
Dave Ewan

Amazing isn't it, I can't get any of my Corvette friends to join the N.C.R.S.
There's a lot wrong with this picture.

1) most of the NCRS cash on hand is dedicated as a "reserve" per NCRS Board of Directors resolution during the mid 1990's. The dedicated reserve is set aside to pay all NCRS the bills and employees in the event that NCRS goes out of business

2) Conventions
Years ago the NCRS Board decided that Conventions would pay for themselves

It takes at least 100 volunteers to put on a Convention. So, if you're attending a Convention, step up and volunteer for 4 hours or more. NCRS is an organization of its members and its members make NCRS.

3) Get involved with NCRS and run for the Board of Directors or for a Chapter Office.

I'm already a board member and have volunteered many hours on the local level, the NCRS is more about the sizzle than the steak!

Re: Volunteers needed for national convention - July 2019

I will add to the comment I made about running for the BOD...Leave your ego home, remember you are elected to guide the whole organization, not just your chapter or region. You will have to make unpopular decisions, use your head and apply some common business sense. It is a business whether you like it or not.

Re: Volunteers needed for national convention - July 2019

It's a business for those who wish to make it their business, it's not a business for me it's a source of enjoyment.

And That's my perspective, just say'n.
