  • If you are going to volunteer at Barber ...

    Everyone,

    If you are planning to volunteer at the Barber Museum this year, be sure to let them know that you are with our group, BMWMOAL. There is a place on the Volunteer form that says "Group Affiliation" where you will put it.

    The reason is b/c if we have so many collective hours as a group, then we can get a credit on rental for a function. For race weekends, it's 100 shifts = $2800; 75 = $1500; 50 = $750; and 15 = $200. For general museum hours or special functions, it's 50 hours = $100 credit; 100 hours = $250; and 150 hours = $500.

    I'm not saying we should push this at all but we seem to have a lot of people who enjoy volunteering and we might have enough hours if we just kept track of them. Especially since there are several more events this year. And we have a super group of folks with motorhomes who provide a great hangout for us during the events.

    So be sure to let Michelle know that you are with the club and that you want your hours credited to the club. You never know.

    Thanks,

    Thanx for the info, Lenn. Just shows what a class act Barbers is (hope that sounded right). Recognition for group efforts was a wise idea. It's the VOLUNTEERS that make Barbers a success - along with the terrific staff there.

      Terese,

      I wouldn't go that far, and not to contradict you but to set the record straight. Barber needs a lot of volunteers so they had to come up with a way to entice clubs/groups who have lots of members to draw from. It's not altruism, but marketing.

      That being said, it's a good place to volunteer if you enjoy motorcycles. The staff is pretty good for the most part but their inexperience in working with volunteers can be frustrating at times.

        Barber's sure would be a great place to have the Chicken Rally. I'm just sayin'...

          Jimmy,

          The idea of the Chicken Rally at Barber's is an old one. The enormous cost of Barber's rental is way out of our league and they do not allow anyone to cook or sell their own food there.
          Sorry Babe.

            Well that bites. Maybe you could sweet talk someone in charge.
