Annual YR Day at the Minnesota State Fair

Please join other YR Members for the annual MNYR Day at the State Fair
on Monday Sept 6th.  Every year, MNYR gather and help man the MNGOP
booth.  This is a great way to get to know some of the other YR's in
the state and a great opportunity to get some prime face time with
potential YR recruits as thousands of people visit the MNGOP booth
every day to find our more about what the party has been up to and
which candidates are running.  There are multiple shifts to sign up
for that are in 4 hour blocks starting at 9am and going until 9pm.
Sign up for at least one shift and if you can do more than one, even
better.  Volunteers during MNYR Day are reimbursed at the end of their
volunteer shift at the pre-sale general admission ticket price of
$9.00 by the MNGOP.

Time - The booth is open from 9am until 9pm
Date - Monday September 6th, 2010
Shifts - 9am-1pm, 1pm-5pm, 5pm-9pm
Location - Carnes Ave between Underwood St and Nelson St.  (Next to Ye Old Mill)
