2011 Pacific Northwest Sportsman's Show Watch Standing

Shipmates,

It is again time for the second of our major show events of the year - the 2011 Pacific Northwest Sportsman's Show. This show is an outstanding opportunity to spread the Recreational Boating Safety message, attract participation in our classes, schedule VEs, raise the profile of the joint Coast Guard/Auxiliary team and speak to potential new members.

The main show days are Wednesday, 09 FEB to Sunday 13 FEB 2011.

I encourage each of you to participate in at least one shift and, as your schedule permits, serve multiple shifts.

The uniform is ODU and we are requesting members wear inflatable PFDs (provided onsite) to showcase the ease of wear of these lifesaving devices.

The shifts are slightly longer than the boat show with four watch standers rather three to allow adequate breaks during shifts.

Signing up for watch standing:
Last year we used an online schedule and email approach which worked well and we'll replicate the process this year.

1. Review this schedule for open watches
2. Send an email to veryuseful@gmail.com with the your availability and preferences. If your schedule is flexible please indicate that is the case.
3. You selections will be updated into this schedule upon receipt and will display in this post.
4. You will receive a confirmation email within a few hours
5. You will receive a reminder email the day prior to the show.

If the watch bill does not display above please use this link.

Tickets will be provided for watch standers and will be held at will-call. You are more than welcome to spend time viewing the show before or after your shift. As with last year we will have shuttle service from the Delta Park West Marine parking lot to eliminate the cost of parking.
