The 2003 Minnesota State Fair is fast approaching and the Minnesota Masons
once again have a great opportunity to showcase Masonry and our commitment
to KidsID and protecting kids. This year our booth will be located in the
Education Building. This is a better location compared with the grandstand
location from last year, and our target audience of families will represent
a higher percentage of the people passing by our booth. Over 85,000 people
attend the Fair every day and we expect to double the number of families
served to over 20,000. This is the single largest event in MN Masonry. Show
your friends and neighbors who we are and what we do.

The MN State Fair will run from August 21st to September 1st. We currently
have openings for greeters to answer questions about the Fraternity and
people to take down vital information. You need no computer ability or
other special skills, only a desire to help Minnesota families and expand
the good name of Masonry. Everyone who volunteers for at least 4 hours at
the KidsID booth will receive free admission. We have many hours to fill
and need to hear from you! All Members of the Masonic Family are welcome.
Response last year was tremendous. Everyone involved remarked on what a
positive experience it was for them or their lodge.

To sign up, go to the Grand Lodge website (www.mn-masons.org) and look for
the State Fair Volunteer Sign Up link. Or you may contact our Volunteer
Coordinator, Brother John Watson at 651-639-9357.
