raffles, & lotteries (50/50's) so that we can put on a show and meet the goals mentioned above. Jobs, chores, duties, responsibilities, etcetera. I'm sure you have enough of those at work, at home, and at school. What I would like to offer to you is the opportunity to be a player rather than a spectator. You are the one with the knowledge, the skills and the ability to be part of the team and help win the game! I would imagine that some of you are reluctant to participate because you have no idea what is expected of you. And that is all right. Take my word for it, not only can you perform these tasks with ease, but you'll have fun doing it! This is not the first show we are putting together. Most of us have some previous experience. Some of us are seasoned pros who have not only contributed to Greater City's shows but have helped with shows for other societies and national and international organizations. We will be working with you every step of the way. All you need is a little time and the desire to play. The more of you who join in, the less work for any one person and a better time will be had by all!

Some opportunities available to you to become involved are in the box on the first page of this article. These are just some of the opportunities. As I mentioned before, we don't expect anyone to stay chained to a post for the duration. We would like to have as many people as possible for the same positions, so that we can rotate and everyone can have a good time. Now don't all rush me at once! Really think about how much time you can dedicate between now and SHOW TIME! Then come to me or one of the other board members and we will help you match your ability and availability to some of the opportunities to participate. It's up to you. It's your society. No one is going to force you. The only question you have to ask yourself is: DO I WANT TO HAVE FUN BY BEING PART OF ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING FISH SHOWS IN THE NYC AREA?
