[Stcroix] Recruiting/PA Booth Training

[Dennis Swanson]

Hello, St Croix Squadron
Especially if you are helping at the Woodbury Days CAP Booth, please
consider the four linked videos (below) as training for the event. These
videos include basic tips about practices that should be followed while
representing CAP at the booth, Booth attendants need to be focused on the
potential guests near the booth, and not ignoring them.

We need to make the booth "kid friendly" to attract young guests, so in
addition to CAP brochures, we will have CAP paper airplanes, a coloring
sheet, and perhaps the paper rocketry craft.

*New this year from NHQ CAP *is a brochure about the Aerospace Education
Membership (AEM) Educator membership, and the AEM video describes this
membership. This will be of interest to school teachers, whether public,
private, or home-school, and other youth program leaders, such as scouting
or 4-H.

The total watch time is about a half-hour. Catch me at our Thursday meeting
or in the  booth this weekend, if you have any questions.
