MahoningValley.info plans to have a display at the Pig Iron Festival.
If any forum member would like to sit with the display and introduce the forum to the public, please respond to this thread. Any help would be appreciated.
I may be able to help.
Now wouldn't that interfere with the anonymity you have worked so hard to maintain?
LOL!!!
I am grateful for the help!
MY SUGGESTION TO MAINTAIN ONE'S ANONYMITY WHO MANS THE TABLE IS TO WEAR A MASK.
Give some more info on dates and times, no promises but maybe.
That is the final day of the Lowellville Fest and I will be working with the Lowellville American Legion. Sorry
Sorry to leave that out. It was posted on the forum and I just assumed the date was known ... you know what they say about assuming.
Here are the details:
Any time frame would be appreciated.

Still hoping that members will promote the forum on July 18th.
Has the Forum joined Time Banks? This might be another source of volunteers.
What could the forum contribute as a service to the circle of caring?
This is my understanding.
The Forum would award Time Bank hours to those forum members who are also members of Time Bank Mahoning Valley.
We are in need of talent for the talent show at the festival which begins at around 3:30pm. If you know any youngsters, oldsters, or anyone who can sing, dance, etc, contact Jim at 747-6932. Solo and groups acts are welcomed!

But how does the forum accumulate hours to award to the members? The participation of an organization is still something I don't understand fully even though Tony has explained it me numerous times.
Mahoning Valley Dot Info has applied for a TimeBank membership and will award hours to volunteers that are TimeBank Members.
If you are not a member of the Timebank, you can apply at the TimeBank Mahoning Watershed website, http://tbmw.org
Since a personal interview is part of the process, your new membership may not be in effect until after the street festival but you will receive your hours retroactively when your membership is active. Just let me know when you are active.
Help is especially needed between the hours of 4 and 9 pm. The display and table will be there with or without people, but it would be so much better to have our members explain the website to visitors.
Thanks much!
WYTV will do a segment on the Pig Iron festival today at around 5:45pm
(Monday....7/13)
