Dear Colleagues,
The 67th annual Shad Planking will take place on the afternoon of
Wednesday, April 15, in Wakefield, Virginia. During the past decade the
Libertarian Party of Virginia has usually sponsored an information booth at the
event, which is one of the major political events in Virginia each year. I
have organized most of our outreach efforts at this event; last year Donna
Grebas organized the effort.
As it turns out, Ms. Grebas will not be able to organize the event due to
her work schedule. Similarly, due to my faculty schedule, I am uncertain
whether I shall be able to organize and/or participate in the event. Because
of this, we are requesting that a volunteer step forward to organize the
outreach effort this year.
Some details about the Shad Planking and our outreach effort:
* The event will take place rain or shine. The event begins at 2:00 p.m. and
ends at 6:30 p.m. The formal program (which usually features speeches by the
most prominent politicians in attendance) begins at 4:00 p.m.
* Each attendee must have a ticket, which costs $25.00. Supposedly the number
of tickets available to the public is limited; however, I do not know what the
limit is. (As far as I can tell, anyone who pays the admission price is
allowed into the event.)
Information about the event is available at www.shadplanking.com.
Since the Shad Planking is an outdoor event, the organizer of the LPVA
outreach effort should arrange for a small tent to be erected (along with a
display table for literature). The organizer must find volunteers to staff the
booth. Also, the organizer must obtain literature for the booth, as well as a
banner and/or signs advertising the Libertarian Party of Virginia. In the past
we have used the "Operation Politically Homeless" kit available from the
Advocates for Self-Government at the booth. In some cases the LPVA booth
doubled as a booth for LPVA candidates.
Those who are interested in volunteering to organize our outreach effort
this year should contact me as soon as possible at [email protected] or by calling
me at (434) 973-5958. I shall be happy to provide information about the nuts
and bolts of organizing this effort.
Thanks for your work for liberty.
Take care,
Jim
