McHenry Co. Defenders seek volunteers

Last summer, Defenders members worked at the McHenry County Fair, which turned out to be a very successful fundraising endeavor. The Defenders is again looking for ticket takers to work at the fair, July 30-Aug. 3 at the McHenry County Fairgrounds in Woodstock on Country Club Road.

The Fair Board will give the Defenders an hourly wage for our volunteers who will work as ticket takers. Help from our members is vital in order to make this another successful fundraiser. The shifts available are:

Wednesday, July 30: nine people are needed to cover three gates. Three shifts need to be filled, 27 volunteers, from 7 a.m. until 9:30 p.m.

Thursday, July 31: nine people are needed to cover three gates. Two shifts need to be filled, 18 people, from 7 a.m. until p.m.

Friday, Aug. 1: nine people are needed to cover three gates. Two shifts need to be filled, 18 people, from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Two to three additional people are needed from 3 to 6 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Main gate.

Shift times are: 7 a.m. to noon, noon to 5 p.m. and 5 to 9:30 p.m.

To schedule a shift, call The Defenders office at (815) 338-0393 or e-mail Joe Starzynski at jojstarz@Comcast.net. It is important that volunteers leave contact information such as address, home phone, cell phone and e-mail address, so that a reminder can be sent regarding scheduled shifts and any additional details.
