2008 Charlotte International Auto Show Nov. 20-23

We've been asked by Hendrick Mini to again help out at the Auto Show by staffing the display and doing what we all love to do, answer questions about Minis. Dana has sent me a schedule for us to sign up on. They'll provide admission as exhibitor and shirts for the show. It looks like parking is not in the budget at this time. You're free to roam outside your tour of duty.
The shifts will be: on Thursday and Friday Noon - 3:00, 3:00 - 6:00, and 6:00 - 10:00 on ; then on Saturday 10:00 - 2:00, 2:00 - 6:00, 6:00 - 10:00 : then on Sunday 10:00 - 2:00, 2:00 - 6:00.
If we can get 2 people or more per shift it makes it easier on everybody plus you have someone to talk to when no one is drooling on the cars.
You can sign up here or call Dana at 704.566.2517. You'll need to call Dana to let her know shirt size and mens or ladies style.

Thursday
Noon-3:00: Tim Shue, Sarah
3:00-6:00: Art and Steve
6:00-10:00: Steve and Scott
Friday
Noon-3:00: Chris & Ann Diel
3:00-6:00: Marty
6:00-10:00: Chris Miller
Saturday
10:00-2:00: David & Carol Thomas
2:00-6:00: John Abell
6:00-10:00: Luke
Sunday
10:00-2:00: Bruce Sutta and Jon
2:00-6:00: SueG and Ryan Windt

I'd like to sign up for Sat. 2-6.

I did this last year it was great fun. For any of our new members, you don't need to be an expert. We just show up and give people a sense of why we enjoy our cars so much, and answer whatever questions we can. We will likely be the only club group working a display and the atmosphere is noticibly more fun.

John

I was a booth babe one year and rec'd a GREAT grab bag for doing so, along with the added benefit of looking so good in heels and a mini skirt--oh wait, that was the girl at the Audi booth next door. ;-)

Seriously, if you haven't done it, you should, it's a blast!

I am on back up call that weekend, but I should be able to help -- that is if I could leave at a moments notice and not cause a catastrophe.

Hey Chris
I think I could do any time then that you need. Whenever you think would be most helpful. I do want to do the car show at Hendrick that Saturday though.

I will be available Thursday and will probably help them get the cars down and set up. Start me at noon to 3 and if you can't find anyone else I will do it.

I can help get cars to the show Thurs. and I can also work the show on Thurs. I can work Noon to 3:00 or 6:00 to 10:00 whichever I am needed, but prefer Noon to 3:00. Sign me up and I will keep a watch to see what time.

If nobody else signs up, I'll help Luke Thursday evening. I stopped by the dealership today and offered to help move cars (Wednesday). Sounds like FUN!
See everybody Saturday.

If you want to hang around until 10:00 in addition to the 3-6 slot I'll put you down for it.

I assume we need to go by Hendrick MINI and pick up our shirts again this year. Is that correct? Are they ready yet?

I spoke to Dana and she said the shirts for the Thurs./Friday people are at the dealership. The shirts for Sat/Sun will be in on Thursday. You need to pick up your shirt at the dealership and get a signed business card as well. You will need to present the business card at the check-in room for workers at the show in order to get your badge for entry.
