COPA for Kids Sept 28 in Victoria - Volunteers Needed

From Bill McAllister...

Perry and I met with Henry (Chief Pilot and Organizer), Bruce (Webmaster) and Ruth (Registration) today at VFC. They were kind enough to fly over from ZBB to meet us. They have run the C4K at Delta and/or ZBB for years. No. 2 in the country, well organized.

We learned a lot. We look forward to volunteering for their event at ZBB May 25.
 
We are grafting the COPA5 C4K web site landing page and sign-up page to our own for COPA6.. First priority is a webmaster...not new code, just an import and mod, then minor maintenance...urgent. Predecessor to marketing collateral and cold contacts.

Here is what we might need for 200 kids:

9 more pilots (total 12)
1 pilot on ground Flight Manager
2 Registration
2 head Marshall (aircraft movements/ramp safety) one am - one pm
4-12 kid-Marshall (kids from reg to planes) (one per plane) may well need less when we determine the groundschool to ramp logistics
1 good photographer
1 greeter/crowd flow control/walk-ins/tantrum dissipater
2 marketing (now to Sept)
1 facilities
1 Groundschool (backup or assist)

These numbers may look fat but are based on the most optimistic sign up and the usual contingencies.  

Thanks for your input,

Bill

Please contact Bill at whmcallister@hotmail.com if you'd like to volunteer.
