CT&I's 2012 theme is Celestial navigation and the Apollo program, with displays of Link aviation devices from the 1940s and the the Apollo program.
CT&I is hosting a table at the annual Sertoma Antique Show at the BU Events Center and we need your help for an hour or two. Your volunteer badge entitles you to free entry all weekend into the show.
Be the first on you block to own a Follow Your Stars zodiac key chains, $8, and help us with market research product name, marketing pitch, price point.
We need to keep tight control of the quantity of items sold, the inventory, and the funds collected. We are going to need more help than usual. The tentative plan is to set up the table Friday morning/noonish, leave detailed instructions explaining the display and the sales items, and each volunteer can brief the next table watcher. We need continuous coverage, even it if means opening late and/or closing early. We'll use posters on the table during non operating hours to encourage return visitors.

Artifact Collection
CT&I is looking for people to help move its artifact collection from various storage areas around Broome County to its site at 321 Water Street, Binghamton.
We need folks who can lift banker boxes and people who can drive their truck or SUV to cart boxes between locations. This is an ideal project for Scout troops and to fulfill community service requirements. The time commitment is 3-4 hours.
In the Spring, we will need volunteers to help identify the artifacts and enter data into the artifact database.
