ROCKIN ON THE RIVER; On July 18th your Cuyahoga Falls Lions Club is scheduled to serve the beer at ROCKIN ON THE RIVER. There will be three (3) beer wagons with five (5) taps each. We will need between ten (10) and fourteen (14) volunteers for each beer wagon. We will need four (4) experienced people on the beer taps, four (4) people serving the customers and (2) people moving the beer from the tapped beer table to the serving table. The other four (4) volunteers will be needed to give others a break when needed. So we are looking for forty (40) volunteers in total for the evening. We will meet with Bob Early at 4:30P.M. so he can lay down the ground rules and then start serving at 5:00 P.M. until 10:30P.M. Remember there are three primary rules. 1. No drinking of beer while serving. 2. No giving away of beer and 3. No giving away of tokens. If you want to drink a beer you must step outside the serving area, buy a token and drink your beer away from the beer wagon. We have five (5) weeks to line up our volunteers so call your friends and relatives and call Lion Syd Baker with your list of volunteers.
