The WGA is responsible for a number of tasks at the West Bend Cache Ba$h mega event during the weekend of August 13-15.
We need the help and support of WGA members and friends to pull all of these things off. We are looking for volunteers to assist us with the following activities:
– GPS downloads on Friday and Saturday (downloading cache information to attendee GPS units)
– Introduction to Geocaching class on Saturday (take new geocachers to temporary practice geocaches)
– WGA booth on Saturday (sign up new members and make nametags)
– WGA Big Ba$h Breakfast on Sunday morning (need cooks, kitchen helpers, servers, and folks to manage the games)If you would like to help the WGA with any of these activities, please post in this thread or send a PM to Jeremy. A list of volunteers and the activities they are assigned to will be maintained below.
Anyone who assists the WGA during Cache Ba$h weekend will receive a free breakfast on Sunday morning as a thank you.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE!

I can work the WGA booth on Saturday morning if need be.
If Jeremy is leaading, I will follow. I already noted at the Bong event that I will be willing to load GPSrs on Saturday. Just let me know what time you the coffee will be ready! I will use my laptop and will only need the cache files. (Garmins CSX 60’s and whatever else I can do as long as the cords are available…no HIGH TECH stuff, please) Lego Lover
Updated the volunteer list. Note to those volunteering for Saturday morning… we are starting at a more reasonable time this year (7am), so you don’t have to roll out of bed so early. Still, there will be free coffee and donuts for the helpers.
Jeremy,
To avoid confusion, please fold in the data and names from the already existing in the threads in the general forum.
And to be clear, it is fine if you want to include recruiting download volunteers here, but please do not call it a WGA activity. The board discussed this already and agreed that we would help out the West Bend Cash Bash as much as we possibly can, including having a booth Saturday, a geocachng class Saturday, and a Pancake Breakfast on Sunday. However the WGA Board is not responsible for downloads on either Friday or Saturday.
Thanks

I can be a pancacke toss operator for the “2nd shift” at the breakfast. My son and/or wife could be the 2nd operator if you’d like.
I’m sorry I cannot volunteer my time for Saturday as I have another non-caching event that my family will be attending most of the day on Saturday. It looks like the Friday downloads are pretty well covered.
I will help out in whatever time frames you need me so put me whereever!
I can help out all Sunday morning for the pancake breakfast for whatever help is needed.
Karen and I can help with Scrappy Scout Saturday morning at the WGA booth from 7:00am – 9:00am. We will also be there for the pancake breakfast, you can put us down from 6:00am to ??? we’ll stay for the whole thing and you can use us where ever you like.
Sweet averith crew is willing to help me with the sign up awesome. I think we will be able to help out on the pancake breakfest.
I’m free on Saturday for something. Put me wherever you need me.
I will not be attending the event.
Bump.
If you are going to be at the Ba$h next week and want to help with something, please post.
We are especially in need of people to help with downloads Friday afternoon and evening, and to man the WGA booth on Saturday from 4 to 6pm. Additional help at the pancake breakfast would also be welcome.
We also need people to take new geocachers to practice caches from roughly 9:30am to 10:30am Saturday morning. Last year there were close to 20 students in the “Geocaching 101” class, so a number of folks with GPS units they are willing to let others use are needed.
Thanks to everyone who has signed up to help!
