FW: Weekend Help @ Midwest

by alboyce＠comcast.net

Looking for P/T weekend work... at a HOMEBREW store?? Check it out! - Al -------------- Forwarded Message: -------------- From: Peter Mack <peterjmack(a)yahoo.com> To: alboyce(a)comcast.net Subject: Weekend Help @ Midwest Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2008 19:28:30 +0000 Midwest Homebrewing and Winemaking Supplies in St. Louis Park is looking for some enthusiastic extra weekend help Saturdays (10-5pm) and/or Sundays (11-3pm). We'd like homebrew experience (all-grain and winemaking experience are a major plus). Most likely, weekend help would be helping customers on the sales floor, but could potentially help with packing orders, filling grain orders, repackaging products, helping customers who call the advice line, and taking orders over the phone. I would recommend anyone interested to stop in to the store and ask for Dave. We're located at: 3440 Beltline Blvd. St. Louis Park, MN 55416 952-925-9835 Pete

Standings are here: http://sphbc.truthbrew.com/mwhboy/ There were 549 brewers or brew teams who competed in twelve contests in 2007. Of those 549 brewers or teams, only 261 earned points in the standings. The 2007 trophy will be awarded at the Upper Mississippi Mash-Out awards ceremony on January 26th. For info on the UMMO '08: http://mnbrewers.com/events/mashout/ Joe will receive a hand carved wood trophy similiar to the one displayed here: http://sphbc.truthbrew.com/mwhboy/prize.htm Northern Brewer (http://northernbrewer.com/) will also be donating a gift certificate.
