Volunteers Needed at the State Fair

Wow, wow, wow! We are experiencing an amazing amount of Augsburg interest at the Fair...we've reordered gifts, raffle cards, Nabo cards... I mean it's been crazy!

So, fellow Auggies, I am here asking a huge favor. We could really use a THIRD person to work at every shift, but particularly at the 9-1 or 1-5 shifts for every remaining day at the fair (through Labor Day, Monday September 1). It would really help to control the crowds waiting in line to spin the wheel and to help answer questions. I do not have enough entry tickets for the fair left, but we will reimburse your expense.

What a wonderful "problem!" Please let me know A.S.A.P. if you can help. My ext. is 1525 and E-mail is herron@augsburg.edu Thank you!
