The Iowa Chapter of Sierra Club is sponsoring a booth at the Iowa State
Fair again for the fourth year.  We have had a lot of exposure at
these exhibits, and this year the theme of the booth is geared to interest
kids in the environment.

Please call Greg Nepstad at 515-987-4846 (Waukee) to volunteer or reply to
me at [log in to unmask]

The fair runs from August 10-20, and we are required to have someone
at the booth from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.  This requires a lot of volunteers -- we
break the day up into 3 four-hour time periods, and we provide a ticket to
get in to the fair (although we don't provide a parking ticket).

The Iowa City Group filled in a whole day last two years -- they made it an
outing and came as a group.   Thanks, Iowa City!

Could some of the other groups do this, also?  Six people would fill the
day, and you could take turns coming and going (we like to have 2 people
there at one time).  Or you could do it with four people (or even three)
and switch off during the day, taking the opportunity to tour the fair.
The time goes pretty fast and we are back in the Varied Industries
Building.

If this doesn't look like it would work out for your Group, please consider
volunteering as an individual to fill at least one time slot -- bring your
spouse, or a friend, or another family member to keep you company.

9-12
12-5
5-9

The Central Iowa Group has filled most of the time slots for the last two
years, but this is a Chapter activity, and it is the State Fair.

Please contact me at [log in to unmask] or 515-223-5047 or call Greg.  We
need your participation!

Thanks,
Jane Clark
Iowa Chapter Chair
