Calling for RiversWest Volunteers

We have big plans for the 2009 Portland Boat Show. The best part of the boat show experience is meeting fellow boaters, woodworkers and folks new to the world of boating.

Members, like you, have so much to offer show attendees and, as you will find, they are very interesting too. Not only will you get a chance to enjoy the show for free, but you can wax poetic about your favorite subjects, show off photos of your projects and demonstrate the exhibits in the booth.

Volunteers can pick their duties and times by volunteering early. They will be needed to set up the booth exhibits, man the booth during show times and help teardown the exhibit and return it to the shop. Several members have kindly offered their boats for display and will be responsible for bringing them to the show and collecting them at tear down.
