(I realize the seniors from last year are still

update my records after band camp.)
We have met with the Clermont County Fair Representative and have
been awarded the parking attendants "contract" at the Clermont
County Fair.
Each person that works a shift will be guaranteed a 4 hour
minimum** shift, at a rate of $9 per hour for the length of the
shift work. ** (Unless, a shorter is worked out ahead of time then
workers will be paid for the length of the shift)** The pay will
credited to the student account specified that the individual is
working for.
Each person working a shift will receive a one day fair pass for
the day they work their shift.
If you schedule a time slot and cannot work it, you must cover
your spot. Time slots cannot be left empty, and if you have
committed to a time slot, please find someone to work your slot &
contact a supervising booster with the information or to help with
back filling a open spot for an emergency.
You must check in at the tent 15 to 30 minutes prior to shift and
check out at tent after your replacement as arrived and relieved
you at your service point, to receive credit and hours to be
recorded for money to be added to the student account.
All people working a shift will need to supply the following
information. Person's name working the shift; shift(s) you would
like to work; a phone number that person can be reached at; the
student account to apply monies to.
Shifts will be filled on a first come first serve basis. The Band &
Boosters have under taken this as an annual opportunity for the
students to earn monies for all future travel and fund raising
needs. If we are diligent, and responsible this will set up this
opportunity to raise money from an outside source for years to
come to help raise money for the band and perhaps other groups that
may help fill open slots with the parking, all benefiting CNE
Students and Schools.
