A special board meeting was held
after the general meeting on 11/12/95. The purpose of the meeting was to review the
recommendations made by the special committee appointed by Connie Bailie to look into the
option of having our spring orchid show be an AOS-sanctioned show. After much discussion, the
board voted to have an AOS sanctioned show on April 12, 13, and 14.--Barb Larime
We have three positions that we need to fill for our upcoming orchid show in April. First, we need a PUBLICITY ASSISTANT to help our Publicity Director Wendy Frisch. Duties would include creating fliers and posters, distributing them to various sites around Ann Arbor, and working with the local media.
Second, we need a HOSPITALITY SUPERVISOR. Duties of the hospitality supervisor are to: (1) oversee the set-up, serving, and clean-up of the Friday Set-up meal (light snacks & drinks to be available 12:00 noon to 7:00pm for the vendors, exhibitors and AAOS volunteers); (2) oversee the Friday night buffet-style Preview Party; (3) oversee the set-up, serving, and clean-up of the Saturday Judges/Clerks breakfast (donuts/bagels & drinks to be available 7:30am to 8:00am; (4) oversee the set-up, serving, and clean-up of the Saturday Judge's lunch (buffet-style meal at 12:00 noon); (5) coordinate a balanced menu with the help of willing AAOS volunteers; and (6) purchase any necessary foods or rent any food-related items required. (Don t worry, AAOS pays, not the Supervisor).
Thirdly, we also need a VOLUNTEER SUPERVISOR. Duties of the volunteer supervisor are to (1) recruit and organize adequate numbers of workers from among members for specific job functions and schedules; (2) work with show chairperson to insure adequate member participation; (3) assist the various volunteers throughout the show (Friday-Sunday) to facilitate a smooth operation.
For each of these positions there will be plenty of assistance from the Show Committee, so you won t be left on your own. If you would like to volunteer for any of these positions or have any questions about them, please contact Alex Challis at the January meeting. There will also be a brief Show Committee meeting after the January meeting.--Alex Challis
