FW: Your Assistance is Requested
Hi gang.
MVUS has supported this for several years, so if you have time next week,
please help out. It's a worthwhile activity as it makes it much easier for
them to get ladies to come downtown in the evening. And they'll feed you
well, too!
Regards,

It's "Great TV Auction" time again and your organization's assistance will
be appreciated to help escort auction phone volunteers and other Auction
workers to their cars in the parking garage or around the Station after
dark-same as you did last year. Auction runs from Monday 19 April through
Saturday 24 April.
Most auction volunteers park on the first floor of the parking garage (right
above the WPTD/WPTO TeleCenter) or on the street nearby the TeleCenter.
There never has been a problem but some of the volunteers (mostly women) are
somewhat leery of who may be on the street around the TeleCenter or in the
stairwell. The stairwell to the parking garage is within 50 feet of our
front door.
A crew of 3-4 for each shift would be very helpful. Ham volunteers need to
be physically able to climb stairs and to walk several hundred feet. Please
bring an HT so we can keep in touch on a simplex frequency.
Here's the schedule:
Auction start time is 6 PM each evening Monday through Saturday.
Monday-Thursday
. First Shift of phone operators leaves between 8:00-9:00 PM
. Second Shift of phone operators leaves between 11:00 PM-Midnight
Friday
. First Shift of phone operators leaves between 8:30-9:30 PM
. Second Shift of phone operators leaves between midnight and 1:00 AM
Saturday
. First Shift of phone operators leaves between 8:30-9:30 PM
. Second Shift of phone operators leaves between 12:30-1:30 AM

We'll also feed you. Food is available all evening for our volunteers.
Come in 30-60 minutes early and relax with food and refreshments. And, if
you park in the parking garage, we'll take care of your parking cost (be
sure to bring your ticket in to be stamped).
The ThinkTV TeleCenter is located in downtown Dayton at the southeast corner
of Fourth & Jefferson Streets.
Please forward this to your organization and recruit some members to help.
Have interested members contact me (Fred Stone at 470-6948) to pick one or
more shifts. Please do this as soon as possible.
I'll keep everyone informed via email as we schedule shifts.
Thank you for your consideration and support of this request. It's a small
price to pay in appreciation for tower space your organization is or will be
occupying on the Channel 16 tall tower. And, besides that, it's FUN and
we'll feed you!! Please reply ASAP. Thanks.
