Area/Team Leader	Description
Security Tony O'Connor – K1OC	This is the largest crew. We need volunteers to staff 52 “shift slots” on Friday from noon until 7:00 PM and on Saturday from 6:00 AM until 4:00 pm. Each shift is two hours long. You can sign up for more than one shift. Please sign up for more than one shift! Security’s main jobs are to provide information and assistance to those attending RARSfest, monitor the entrances to the event floor, politely steer people to the ticket sellers, and generally keep the traffic moving during setup and tear-down. You will need a VHF HT and a Technician class or higher amateur radio license, or sign up with a friend who has them. The Fairgrounds will also provide a uniformed security officer throughout the event.
Admissions Lisa Chambers	Another big crew, second only to Security. We need volunteers to sell admission tickets on Friday from noon until 6:00 PM and on Saturday from 6:00 AM until 2:00 pm. This is a sit down job that sees a lot of faces. As attendees come in, we greet them and provide tickets. It is busiest on Saturday morning when the doors first open and those early shifts will require two people at each table, so why not get your buddy to sign up to work with you? At least one person on each table needs to be a licensed radio amateur and have a HT radio.
Flea Market Jeremy Lindsley – K2HJX	Flea Market duty is at the west overhead door, checking folks in, assigning tables, etc. We need volunteers to assist on Friday from noon until 6:00 PM and on Saturday from 6:00 AM until noon.
RARSfest Prize & Information Center Chuck Till – K4RGN	The Prize & Information Center is the nerve center of RARSfest. Volunteers are needed on Friday to help set up and on Saturday to make announcements over the public address system, field questions from attendees, tend to the ticket barrel, and help with the prize drawings.
Teardown Dave Thomas – K4SAN	This crew is also known as the Dumpster Divers. When everyone else clears out, there may be some tables that need to be moved around to help dealers get out of the building. Then comes the Dumpster Diver fun. The teardown crew gets to clean up and dispose of any spoils that are left behind as they see fit.
Volunteer Consignment Table Tom Lewis – N4TL	To make it easier for volunteers to work at the hamfest, they can leave items here to be sold while they work. Starting on Friday at noon this crew tags and inventories items as they are brought in. The table is manned for sales all day Saturday. Volunteers who are RARS members are asked to pre-register their items for sale. Volunteers who are not RARS members can bring their items to the RARS Consignment Table at the back of the Jim Graham Building between noon and 7:00 PM on Friday, or anytime after 6:00 AM the day of the hamfest.
RARSfest Chair Nancy Torborg – KB2TNR	Can't seem to figure out what you want to do? Can't get hold of the guy that runs the crew you want to help with? Can't find what you're looking for? Can't ........whatever... Fear Not—We have other jobs available. We WILL find a way for you to help.
