[W1SMH] Fwd: Request for CERT Support: 2018 North Attleboro Firefighters Kids Day Event

[RayCord]

 Hello All
After a very successful Norton Founders Day it is now on to the next Large Scale Public Event.
North Attleborough Kids Day Thursday June 19th through Sunday June 22nd.
While all the details are in Scott Bumpus's email below, 
it is important to note a few things.
1- It is a four day event
2- Hours of Operation are 11AM to 11PM Thursday-Saturday and 11AM to 6PM on Sunday.
3- There is a 5K Road Race on Sunday morning at 8AM-
4- EMA-CERT-MRC-HAM Volunteers have been asked to support Parking Lot operations.
5- There will Fireworks both Friday and Saturday
6- Meal Tickets will be available for Volunteers 

While we would love to have everyone volunteer to work the entire 12 hour shift Thursday through Sunday,
we recognize that is both unrealistic and unhealthy. Past history has shown that the first hour and the last 
hour each day is the slowest. Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest because of the Fireworks at 9:15 PM. Having said that, we would like to have each Team pick a Day and a Time slot or more for their Team.
If that is not practical because of work schedules,  then individuals can fill in as they see fit.
We are looking at possible 12 Noon to 5:30 and 5:00PM to 10:30PM Schedules each of the days.
The 8AM 5K Road race is only an hour or so on Sunday and should be easy to fill.

If you know of other Teams that did not get this email or an earlier one from MEMA please forward it to them

Please do your best to help fill these hours. It is Fund raising  Event that helps the N.A. Firefighters Association support programs for needy children during the course of the year

If you wish to help out for one shift or more (or even a partial shift) please send an email to
               scott.bumpus at nafirefighterskidsday.org
with your schedule.

also please put me on copy so I can develop a Roster of Volunteers

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

There will be more info forth coming as we get closer

Thank you

Good Morning Rich

It is that time of year again.  Plans are heavily underway for the 2018 North Attleboro Firefighters Kids Day Festival.  That being said, could you please forward our request for assistance again this year to the CERT Teams in S.E. Mass.?

Our event this year will run from Thursday July 19th to Sunday July 22nd.  The hours  of Operation are Thursday Noon-11pm, Friday Noon-11pm, Saturday Noon-11pm and Sunday Road Race 7am-11am and festival Noon-5pm.  Personal should plan to arrive by 1030 am each day for the operational briefing.

I am looking for a senior EMA or CERT team leader for each day to be Operations.  I also need at least 10 people to staff 5 different locations.  I need at least 5 at the start of the day and ramping up to the 10 probably by 1430 to get ready for the evening rush.

The mission will be traffic control/parking along with providing information to attendees and being observers for anything that might happen.  Staff are asked to be prepared for any type of weather but mostly warm days and cool nights including having sunscreen, and bug spray.  Staff will need their reflective vest and traffic wand.  It is suggested to bring a chair as there are some slow periods.  Staff should also make sure to bring any personal items that they may need.  Food and drinks will be provided noting that items are limited to fair type food.  If you have a specific dietary need please make sure to bring what you need.

Please note that the area is a large area and standing for long periods and walking long distances may be required.

We are also in need of at least 4 lighting plants and 2 sign boards.  If any agency can assist with that it would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone wishing to help can contact me at this email address: scott.bumpus at nafirefighterskidsday.org<mailto:scott.bumpus at nafirefighterskidsday.org>.
