Geocache Description:

Come one, come all to the Fair!

The NoVAGO Volunteer Fair, that is. No experience required!

Come by the Reston Library (11925 Bowman Towne Drive) on Sunday afternoon between3:30-5:00 to learn more and pick up a smilie!

NoVAGO relies solely on volunteers to accomplish many successes each year.

Each year, NoVAGO has offerings that include these:

Conduct seasonal events (Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall) throughout northern Virginia
Conduct special events for a variety of reasons (12/12/12, International Geocaching Day, Earthday, Monday, sunny weather)
Conduct Cache In Trash Out (CITO) events in the area parks that host many of your favorite geocaches
Deliver Geocaching 101 presentations for area parks, nature centers, scout troops, civic organizations, youth groups, adult groups
Place temporary caches for Intro to Geocaching workshops
Select annual award winning caches and cachers

To successfully conduct these events, more NoVAGO volunteers are always welcome to share their skills, talents, and energy. NoVAGO volunteers can share the following:

Event planning - contacting parks, coordinating meals, leading ice breakers, creating event cache pages
CITO leading - contacting parks, holding the bag(s), coordinating supplies
Geocaching 101 presenting - working with requestors to schedule presentations, recruiting volunteer speakers, speaking
Intro to Geocaching support - placing caches, leading new cachers on intro tours, introducing new cachers to using a GPSr
Internet supporting - contributing to the NoVAGO website content, liking and commenting on the NoVAGO Facebook page, improving the broader NoVAGO social media presence

NoVAGO can benefit from any level of volunteer commitment - from a few minutes one afternoon to multiple days over the course of a couple of months. So, pick your contribution level and let's match you up with an opportunity!

At this event, current and past NoVAGO officers and volunteers will be available to convince you how easy it is to be a NoVAGO volunteer. You can experience the Geocaching 101 presentation, use the NoVAGO GPS teaching/loaner units, sign up to support an upcoming summer presentation, select a task for the NoVAGO Summer Event, or start plans for a summer CITO.

You will also meet some fellow cachers and will probably pick up some great hints about those caches that are causing you particular challenges. There are also a few caches located nearby that you can seek either before or after the event.
