Training Required:   To participate, you must attend a five hour training class.  The class is offered on Tuesday, June 24th, 2008 from 6-11 p.m.  You must attend training to participate, and you cannot commit to or work at the games without signing up and completing training.  There is no payment for attending training.

The Payoff:    For each game worked, each concession stand employee will receive a minimum of $65.00 towards their child¢s Disney trip fees.  There is no set number of games you must work.  Work as many or as few games as your schedule will allow.

To Participate: To sign up for training and future Reds games; contact Becky Adkins at 513-388-6248 or by email at becksue_33@yahoo.com no later than Monday, May 19th.  Training classes fill up quickly and I need a list of all parents that are interested turned into the Red's by May 21st to secure our June 24th training.

Details:

1. To participate in this opportunity, the Band Boosters need commitments to fill all available games with 10-12 workers at each game.  If we cannot meet staffing requirements for each game, we have to pay regular park employees to work for the missing people.  If you commit to this and sign up, you must attend or we will lose money.  Please keep that in mind when committing to any particular game.

2. Parking is not free.  You must pay for parking at the ball park.  We recommend and will attempt to help with carpooling once the roster for each game is determined.

3. The 10-12 people needed for each game will be filled on a first come, first serve basis.  Once we have the required number of participants for each game, we will close that game from further participation.

4. For each game, concession workers are required to arrive 30 minutes before game time.  Most of the selected games are at 7:10 p.m., so you must arrive at Great American Ball Park in time to be in the concession stand at 6:40 p.m. You must stay until the game has ended and the stand is cleaned and put back together for the next event.

5. Approximately two weeks after each game, the Reds will forward a check payable to the Band Boosters for $65 per each worker at that game. The $65 earned will be forwarded on to the school in partial payment of your child's Disney fees.
