Responsibilities
Members assist with convention and reunion registrations and occasionally act as a Manhattan tour guide, pointing out attractions and businesses to convention / reunion bus tours or as a companion guide for group tours.
Members assist with special events such as 2A State High School Basketball Tournament, Country Stampede, State High School swimming & diving meets, etc. Members should be open to helping with unique hospitality opportunities (e.g., Casino Night, special group requests).
