At every CORSA Convention, volunteers are needed not only from the host clubs but from among the attendees.  Fortunately, the Corvair hobby is populated by generous and willing people who step up and help out.  Sturbridge will be no exception – volunteers are needed and attendees are among those who can help.

We have already been recruiting for Concours judges and other tasks, but today we are seeking volunteers to fill assignments as parking assistants. Parking assistants? Yes – with the hotel already sold out and neighboring hotels nearing capacity, we’re expecting a lot of vehicles. Fortunately, the Sturbridge Host Hotel has a generous number of parking spaces, but even so, traffic needs to flow smoothly and arriving guests need to be able to find their way.

Trailer parking will be at a remote site (see this page for trailer parking information), plus there will be the swap meet, vendor room set-up and more to coordinate. Throughout all this, we anticipate needing two people at Old Sturbridge Village to coordinate trailer parking there, two or three people on the main driveway at the host hotel to direct traffic, and several additional folks directing the display area set-up and related activities.

Tom Russ, the convention’s parking coordinator, is anticipating two-to-four-hour shifts beginning Tuesday, July 24 and extending through Saturday, July 28. Obviously, the more volunteers we have the easier each person’s job will be. Not every location will require constant attention and we’ll be flexible as to when and where help is needed.

Parking personnel will be issued identifiable safety vests plus radios for use while on duty. It is too early to determine specific assignments however Tom will appreciate knowing who is interested and when they can be available, so please contact him here.

A smoothly-operating parking plan with everyone’s help and cooperation will make a great convention even better.
