[PBARC] Dumas event - Oct 28

[E Glenn Wolf Jr]

All -

 

It looks like the weatherman might have gotten it right.  I looks like it
will be chilly almost cold site Sunday morning so dress accordingly.   

 

Those that are helping with this event from our church will be leaving from
FBCWH at 7AM.  We can meet at FBCWH or just meet up on the air and get down
to Dumas.   They would like for us to be there close to 8AM to help with any
final setups and to give us a chance to get our stuff setup and discuss
roles and responsibilities.   We are likely to be responsible for parking
and being sets of eyes to make sure nothing gets out of hand.

 

I've included the email I sent out earlier just to recap what was discussed
last Sunday. 

 

 

 

I attended an orientation meeting last Sunday afternoon.  Here's what I
learned:

 

Event Staff T shirts will be available at the Event but must be turned in
after the event is over.  The shirt will be used in future events planned
for the area.

 

The event will run from 9A to 12N.  Game take down will begin shortly after
a brief talk that will begin at noon.

 

I have volunteered us to be involved in assisting with parking in addition
to our patrolling. Family Block Party participants will have a wristband.
If you should find a lost child, you should return with the lost child to
our booth which will be across from the registration booth.  That will be
our base location.

 

FBCWH Event Staff will be leaving FBCWH at 7AM next Sunday morning. We can
either go with that caravan or go on our own but we should plan on being
there as close to 8A as we can.

 

Right now the weather forecast looks good.  Cold will likely be the biggest
problem.  Please dress accordingly but the green event staff shirt should
visible over whatever you wear to keep warm.

 

Event staff will be provided food (provided by Joe Spadoni) but most likely
not until after the event is officially closed down.

 

There will be signs on 65 indicating where we need to go but as I appreciate
it, the road we are looking for is near the Sonic (which is across from the
hospital).

 

I plan on bringing a generator along with a power supply and a dual band
transceiver and a magmount antenna. I would encourage a backup setup (just
in case).  We can finalize our frequencies over the next few days but I'm
thinking 146.52 for patrolling and possibly a UHF simplex frequency for the
parking lot activities.

 

Thanks for volunteering to help on this project... I appreciate it and I
know that Dean and FBCWH do as well.
