[Az-Geocaching] Save the Date and Call for Volunteers

[crystalh at cox.net]

I, too, would love to help out with the trail restoration thing and the booth.  I'm fairly new to the sport, but with 4wheelingmirage and Roamin Rednecks help, I've become an avid cacher!  Let me know what I can do to help out.  Thanks!

> The Public Lands Information Center (PLIC), run by the Bureau of Land
> Management, has invited us to participate in this year’s National Public
> Lands Day, Saturday September 24. The event will be held at the Phoenix
> North Mountain Visitor Center, North 7th Street, south of Thunderbird Road
> at approximately N 33° 36.034’ W 112° 03.938’ (though there are events all
> over the state and even in such out-of-the-way locations as Billings,
> Montana – see: http://www.npld.com/) .
> 
>  
> 
> The day will consist of two parts: A “Trail Beautification Project” from 7
> to 9 AM and a Recreation Fair from 9 AM to 2 PM. Volunteers for the Trail
> Project will receive breakfast, souvenir T-shirt, water, snacks, and lunch.
> During the Recreation Fair, we will be manning one of about 50 tables open
> to the public to talk about Geocaching. We’ve been asked to “
introduce
> folks to your hobby and educate them on the proper etiquette as far as
> minimum impact and ‘Leave no trace’ ”. Last year they had an estimated 5,000
> attendees during the Recreation Fair and anticipate a similar number this
> year.
> 
>  
> 
> What we’ll need will be volunteers for the Trail Project, and volunteers to
> staff the table. My thought is two or more people at the table for two-hour
> shifts. You’ll be able to do both the Trail Project and the table if you’d
> like. I’m hoping we’ll have enough participation that no one will have to do
> more than two hours at the table unless they really want to. 
> 
> I’m also looking for a volunteer to work with me to put this together and
> manage things the day of the event. If you want to volunteer for that, plan
> on being at the event from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM. But I’ll buy you your
> beverage of choice when it’s over. Maybe two of them.
> 
>  
> 
> We’ve also been offered the opportunity to put on a 30-minute program. If
> someone wants to take this on, let me know. This is not a necessity, but if
> you do want to do it, I need to let them know quickly so they can reserve a
> slot for us.
> 
>  
> 
> They are also looking for “
 sponsors for things like bottled water,
> volunteer freebies and snacks for the participants.” If someone’s feeling
> generous, let me know. Again, this is not a necessity.

> I think it is important that we do this as a community, so if you want to
> participate, save the date, give us a chance to get things organized, and
> we’ll do some kind of “official” registration in a few weeks if not sooner.
> But I would like to get some sense of how many people we might have, so I
> know that we’ll have a large enough contingent to make it work. Then I can
> go back to the PLIC and commit to them that we’ll be there. So for now, just
> let me know if you’re willing to help out, or if you want to take on one of
> the special tasks. Thanks.
