[NJARC] Your Help Needed in October

[Scott Roberts]

Why is this now being handled by a "Professional Organization"? I consider hiring ANY "Professional Organization" a waste of money when it is used for a fundraiser! You have to expend funds to the "Professional Organization" just for the things volunteers usually do. I realize volunteers are thin a lot of the time,  but that is part of the club(s) process. Hiring a "Professional Organization" to host something we used to do ourselves is about as smart as the government contracting out all the stuff GIs used to do in the military- wasteful, and ridiculous, and you get LESS for your money. 


I say this as a member, but not usually a volunteer for financial reasons- I am usually working at the necessary times or too broke to make the trip up to Info Age, but I still feel it is irresponsible to hire some for profit company to do the job. If we don't have enough volunteers, then find something that will bring more out, and fund-raise differently.

Scott

As most of you know, NJARC and our Radio Technology
Museum is a major player at InfoAge.

InfoAge's biggest fundraiser of the year is the Haunted
Hotel (renamed the Halloween "Base of Terror") which is
held on Friday and Saturday evenings during October.

Unlike in past years, NJARC and the other InfoAge member
organizations are not running the event, which is being
handled by a professional organization. HOWEVER, we have
been asked to have our museums open for visitors on the
appropriate evenings - specifically the following Fridays
and Saturdays from 7 pm to 11pm:

October 7 and October 8
October 14 and October 15
October 21 and October 22
October 28 and October 29

Bottom line:   NJARC needs your help in staffing (and
protecting) our museum on those evenings. Please
contact me or Ray Chase if you are willing to help
the club on ANY of those dates. Once, twice or
whatever. Thanks.
