Details

• What we'll do
**ONLY RSVP if you want to help as a volunteer. REI has told me they will give discounts to those who volunteer. NTO hasn't decided but might also have party favors. Show up and find out!

Last year we had six volunteers and we had a great time. This is a fun event!!

Arrive REI Dallas: 10:00am for set up

Table: We get one table and a black table cloth.

Gear: Let’s make a list of any large gear we want to bring (things that will not fit on the table). We will also make a list of smaller gear to see and touch. For the large gear, we had a single inflatable kayak last time. That drew attention and was enough for our available space. REI brand gear or gear they sell would be preferable but not mandatory.

We will need at least one person outside with the large gear and one person inside at the table. Please let me know if you have an “Easy-Up” style pop-up tent you can bring with you.

We will not sell products nor services at this event. Conduct: This event is open to all people, of all ages. Please speak and act professionally.

Information about NTO will be passed out: business cards, flyers, brochures and/or stickers

A display of pictures/videos will be played on a loop on a laptop

Wear your NTO t-shirts if you have them. If not, you can purchase one at:
https://stores.inksoft.com/north_texas_outdoors

Helpful ways to draw people in and make connections:
Ask if they have ever participated in the activity you are promoting and if so, how much experience. Now you are set to talk about the different levels of activities there are within your group and how they can connect with your group.

Clean up between 3:00-4:00pm
