Default Arlington lays some eggs

Church groups and Girl Scouts. Ask them now - for next season! For the
Church groups: Men's clubs, Ladies clubs, Youth groups, Neighborhood
Outreach programs, etc.


I belive the Girl Scouts have the same legal restrictions the Air
Cadets do, but not sure anymore. Worth taking a look at. I was
thinking Boys & Girls Club too, but the one thing that CAP and Air
Cadets brought to the table was a command structure and some
discipline, something that has been exhibited to be missing from many
groups.

Senior condos and/or Senior apartments are another great source of willing
people. Bus them over and back, give them a pancake breakfast (and/or
lunch), give them a t-shirt, and they'll give you many hours of enthusiastic
service. Take care of the Seniors and they'll take care of you! :-)

Don't forget the bathroom breaks and "refreshment wagon" for your
volunteers. Bottled Water is the drink of choice for many on a hot day.
ALWAYS have lots of COLD bottled water in the cooler.


Good ideas. All volunteers get a free lunch every day, all the water
they can drink and a t-shirt. They have staff and golf carts dedicated
to just provide water and food.

Also, some Aviation programs "require" this type of civic
service/volunteering - credits toward graduation. A few years ago we had a
group of 20(?) students from a college aviation program get credit for
working our Airport Open House.


Which college? The Aviation High School idea someone mentioned is
good, if we can get them to organize something during summer vacation.
