+GEM's Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Cachers have volunteered in Seattle, Portland, and even San Diego! Now we're headed to Spokane! Check out the planning wiki for details and email mail if you can help! Ask Weighman, Fractal, pdxmarathonaman and you can even ask the Podcacher what they think of this event! Don't miss the fun in Spokane. Quote Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Don't bother asking, I'll tell you. We had a great time in Seattle with this. Hiding a bunch of temp caches and then helping noobs try to find them. It was a blast. Quote Link to comment
+GEM's Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Any Spokane Cachers Ready to get involved? I have a confirmation from Shauna Maggs at Groundspeak... They're ready to support this conference again this year! Thanks Shauna! Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 (edited) It really was a lot of fun. If you can make the time to volunteer you'll really enjoy yourself. Despite what you may have heard, GEM's is a genuinely great guy! And you may even get a few freebies... Edited November 21, 2006 by pdxmarathonman Quote Link to comment
+MtnGoat50 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I sometimes wonder if I'm the only Spokane cacher that reads this forum. I would be willing to help but I probably wouldn't have the time to be any kind of lead. I'll see if I can drum up some interest. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 A few Spokane Area Cachers read the IdahoGeocachers.org forums that I don't see post in these forums. Quote Link to comment

Thank you! Check the schedule page on the Wiki and sign up. Glenn updated the times that the booth is open. We need volunteers for Wednesday AM thru Friday AM. Two and a half days instead of four, whew!!! We really need at least 3+ people at all times at the booth, so sign up for as much as you can. I think we will need more help, so if any of you knows anyone, that you think might be interested please let them know! Quote Link to comment
+Lookout Lisa Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 OK, silly question... I am actually interested in attending a session (Wed eve workshop) -any chance I might be able to have the workshop fee waived for volunteering at the geocaching booth for 4+ hours? I am grant funded with my work and extra expenses are challenging to justify sometimes... just thought I'd ask Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+Lookout Lisa Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) Opps -got an error and then a double post. Edited February 13, 2007 by Lookout Lisa Quote Link to comment
+Dream Cache R Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Wow! What a fun time teaching teachers, seeing them get excited about learning to navigate with a new toy (GPSr) and watching the thrill of it all as they found their first cache! They were then on their own to navigate around our beautiful Riverfront Park, learn a little history, do a little CITO, and find the many hidded caches on their "mission". When I first signed up to volunteer at the NCCE Geocaching booth, I had no idea what I was getting into. It turned out to be much more than I ever expected. Not only was the experience of educating the educators about GPS navigation a reward, but working alongside a great group of local volunteers who love the sport of geocaching could not have been any better. In fact, I enjoyed myself so much, I came back a second day to volunteer. I also stayed to help present the big grand prize drawing, GPS reciever, at the end of the conference. But before that, we had the added bonus of getting to listen to the closing guest speaker, Will Richardson, talk on education and the internet. His talk was excellent and the entire experience was absolutely awesome! Thanks Glenn, for bringing this to Spokane and to Brad and Jim for all your hard work getting it going! Thanks Shawna for donating Geocaching.com T-shirts, stickers, etc for the event too. Also, a BIG Congrats to Glenn for being honored with The President's award at the end of the conference! Well-done!!! Quote Link to comment
+magking1971 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I never got to go during the show but I was there at 2:30 pm to 8:30 pm picking up all the freight from it on friday. It did look and sound like fun though. Quote Link to comment
+GEM's Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 WOW! Spokane cachers are fantastic! This was our best cache course yet! Check out our pictures! Quote Link to comment
Chumpo Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I just stumbled across this thread during one of my infrequent forums browsing sessions. Awesome pictures, Glen! I am glad that we were able to be a (small) part of the volunteer force, and am looking forward to next time. Quote Link to comment
