Ohio Cattlemen’s looking for student workers during OBE
The Ohio Cattlemen’s Association is looking for student workers to help out with the Ohio Beef Expo. The Expo will take place March 18-20, however, we will need student workers beginning Tuesday, March 15^th. Students will be compensated $8/hour for their time. If each of you could pass along the following information to your student organizations, it would be greatly appreciated.

We are using a Google doc to schedule student workers, you may see some have already signed up, however, we still have a large number that needs to be filled. Please remember, students can sign up for a half day, or a full day, based on the times available in the sheet. If a student signs up for a full day, they will receive a free lunch from the OCA.

On the bottom of the spreadsheet, there are tabs for different days. Each day is broken down into the three barns: Junior, Trade Show and Breeds. Each day has listed what the specific tasks will be for that barn. We encourage students to sign up now, as we will be sending out further information next week to the students directly.

We would greatly appreciate this if you would share it with the members of your clubs/organizations. The link to the Google doc is below, if you have any questions, please let me know. We are glad to help answer questions.
