  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING GALLERY WALK!!!!

    To all Harrisburg Camera Club Members,

     
    On Sunday September 12th we will hosting the opening reception for the Kid Camp exhibition and the HCC members exhibit in conjunction with Gallery Walk in the Atrium of the City Government Bldg (City Hall) at 10 North Second Street in Harrisburg.  We need strong support from the club to make it happen.  We will need at least 6 members of the club to be at the exhibit site to help from start to finish.  The start time is 9:00 in the morning till around 6:15 in the evening (Gallery Walk hours are 11:00-6:00).  I don't expect everyone to stay the whole time.  It would be easiest to run two shifts of 6 people from 9-1 and 1-6.  The morning shift is the busiest in terms of setup.  Some of the duties are listed in the GALLERY WALK INSTRUCTIONS. 
     
    We will need help getting the following items as outlined in the GALLERY WALK INSTRUCTIONSSodas, Cookies, Candy and the Paper Products (save your receipts to get reimbursed, no receipt, no pay) .  We also need items listed under the heading Items used in food setup.  The food setup items will be returned.  As you will find in the attachment, we suggest that the items be bought at a Sams Club, Costco or BJ's to cut costs.  Please e-mail me ASAP on what you plan to purchase or when you plan to help that Sunday so I can coordinate purchases and work schedules.  I will update the membership as frequently as possible to keep all informed on what items are needed or not needed and for staffing on Sunday the 12th.  Contact Andrew Hoff at ahoff@brinjac.com or call from 7- 4 Monday -Thursday at my work # 233-4502.
     
    Please read the entire GALLERY WALK INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!  It may be long, but it points out the volume of help and work that is needed to hold the reception during Gallery Walk.
     
    For those of you planning to help at the opening reception on the 12th, street parking is free on Sunday
