> Call for volunteers, Selkirk Chapter "Buy-a-Board for Habitat" booth at 
> the North Idaho Fair.
> 
>     Selkirk Chapter is once again partnering with Habitat For Humanity, 
> with a Buy-a-Board for Habitat booth.  This year we will do the booth at 
> the North Idaho Fair, at the fairgrounds in Couer d'Alene.  Dates for 
> this years fair are Wednesday, August 23 thru Sunday, August 27th.  We 
> are required by the fair to have the booth staffed from 11am to 11pm 
> each day.  Staffing will be shared with Habitat for Humanity 
> volunteers.  In past years, at Timberfest in Sandpoint, booth staff have 
> found the venue excellent for opportunities to discuss forestry with the 
> public who come to buy a board and look over the SAF display.  In past 
> years, we have made significant donations of lumber and cash to our 
> partners, HFH.
> 
>     If you can help us in staffing the booth, please contact Bob 
> Bosworth <bosworth@colcreams.com>, 208-267-2725.  It would be helpful if 
> you could indicate dates you would be available, and times of the day 
> that best suit your availability, email address and phone number.
> 
>     From previous contacts, the following have indicated availability 
> for staffing:  Kathy O'Conner, Phil and Mary Aune, Norris Booth, Lynn 
> Kaney, Bill Johnson, Bos Bosworth, Steve Bloedel, Bernie Janoski, Robin 
> Miller, Ralph Cornwall.  If your name is on this list, please contact 
> Bos, to confirm dates and times that suit you best.
> 
>     I will plan to contact all volunteers the week of Aug 14th, to line 
> out the schedule, and further instructions on booth location, etc.
> 
>     We also need a small work party on Tuesday, August 22, to set up the 
> tent, set up our display, and organize the boards for sale.  We should 
> do this in the afternoon.  Anyone who can help then, please contact Bos.
> 
>     We are excited about the opportunity to meet the public with this 
> booth, and to make a significant contribution to our partners efforts in 
> providing affordable housing.  Please join us in this project.
