Down load Booth Schedule for pay details (Acrobat 16k)

   Booth hours depend on numerous factors: number of tourist, day, time and season. usually I work aprox mid to high season between 25-50 hours week 4 to 5 days per week depending on day or season so my schedule has to be flexible. In low season, I have worked from 7-30 hours a week depending on brochure and other off season projects as they come in. Again that does not mean I am always in the office/booth but going on brochure pickups or lodging visits or meeting new members, interviews, taking pictures of events ,getting things for the booth ect.......
   Woodstock Booth- High season needs to be revised June, July , Aug, Sept and Oct are high season Nov to March are low season and April and May mid season
My new season should start in April 1 2005 April is a time to make repairs clean up inside and outside of booth to start accepting brochures and other liteature, to fill up the booth for a May opening.
   I pride my self in getting as much stock as I can at this time as of last year many people are now realizing that I always have lots of information avail for them and will travel to Wood stock just for that alone I have been told. Most important for this year I want to make Woodstock Chamber Members more aware that they can advertise in the booth!
Have already done some light painting of the trim and gotten a new information sign I also have to get the large map installed flower boxes planted and some out side landscaping done. just waiting for the weather to get better. We also need to work on getting another picnic table and some more benches outside. also have installed new brochure holders this year, the old ones have either been broken or stolen. Inside needs a full cleaning and a new floor or a good carpet with padding put in for insulation, more storage that can double as sitting areas. I want to keep the coziness of the booth as my main objective while still finding cheap ways to insulate.
   I will continue providing booth reports on a monthly basis. May will be our opening month! each morning around 7am and evening around 8pm I clean and get booth ready for another day. Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays the booth will be open from 11-6pm 21 hours of work a week and this will change according to the seasonal needs. Fridays I will do pickups and lodging visits and other projects. In May my second grandchild will be born so I might miss a day or two and will try to find coverage .
   In June I would like to start the Woodstock Tours if they are in place by than and I would like to get music in my corner of the world so I would like to find small groups to play on the booth grounds to draw people to the booth. Maybe some outside solar lights would be nice Rock City is always so dark.
   July-Oct My crazy season will be mainly booth/tourist related ANSWER TO THE BIG QUESTION!!! Hours Thur-Monday 11-6pm changes according
   Also want to create a real news letter out of online newsletters or agendas to send to all members 4 times a year!
   We need to seriously consider winterizing booth for year round use. One of the primary reasons would be Brochure creation office.
