Rally registration team needs volunteers
By Roger Trendowski #88147
EVERY YEAR, ABOUT 300 VOLUNTEERS are needed to help with Rally Registration. If you’re planning to attend this summer’s MOA Rally in Hamburg, we hope that you might consider joining a great team of vol- unteers. Not only is it a great way to assist and
meet other MOA members arriving in Hamburg after hours on the road, but it’s also a way to serve an important rally func- tion
while forging new
friendships along the way. As the first point of contact for rally attendees, registration volunteers assist in the check-in process, provide refreshments, give direc- tions, distribute rally packets and answer any questions rally goers might come up with. With up to 30 volunteers
working each four-hour shift during registration, new friendships are likely as vol- unteers meet and greet club members, friends, and family as they arrive. In fact, we usually have so much fun that most peo- ple sign up for multiple shifts or even sign up to volunteer as a club. Rally Registration volunteers play an active and visible role contributing to the success of the Rally. Arriving riders spend less than 10 min-
utes during their registration process, and registrants leave the area with a wrist band and a program describing rally events with their locations and times, as well as the knowledge of where to go next. We believe this first member interaction sets the stage for a great rally experience for all who attend. At last year’s event in Billings, Montana,
we used electronic ticket scanning with great success, and using an iPhone app, we
were able to scan preregistered tickets and quickly get everyone registered and on their way in only minutes. In addition to the app, we also used a bank of laptops to register members registering on-site or attendees who were not members of the MOA. Volunteering for rally registration is sim-
ple and done by visiting
www.moaregistra-
tionvolunteer.eventbrite.com and choosing the four-hour shift you would like to help. Detailed training is provided, and there is always someone available to assist you with any questions. When regis- tering online
for a shift,
please note that each shift is described as a separate event, and to sign up for a shift, you need to get a free “ticket” for each shift that you want to help. Once you’ve
completed your signup, a confirmation will
be emailed to you. If your club would like to work together,
simply select a day/shift and spread the word to your members to quickly sign up individually. Should you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact any of our registra- tion co-chairs using our team’s contact information shown on the registration vol- unteer web site or by using our email addresses below. See you in Hamburg!
