2010 National - Volunteer List

[R Doug]

quick update.

1)  group dinner set and we have a good list of people who have paid so far.  

2)  I have a few door prizes which I just shipped out to the hotel today via UPS

3)  I have a roll of tickets which can be used to a) gain access to the group dinner and b) be used for the door prizes.  I'll need to remember to print out the list of folks who have paid.  I can hand out the tickets just before the dinner or as people are walking in the door.  

4)  Chris has gathered some door prizes.  Is that correct?  (if so, big thanks!)

5)  Is anyone bringing nametags?  

6)  SWRiverstone told me he may be preparing paper maps for folks w/o GPS units.

7)  what am I missing?

Couldn't hurt to have the bonafide thing. I was gonna do my typical thing and swipe a box of labels and a handful of sharpies from the closet at work, but if you have the real thing...

One year for the WCRM I was bored so I bought the labels from somewhere and then made up a spreadsheet of names and pre-printed two of each label, including screen name and the real name slightly smaller and below. It worked out very well.

Not that I'm suggesting that anyone else should bother with it. I'm just sayin' that it worked well    <--- as close to "geek" as I can find

I did the same thing for ESTN 2008.  

Jack, thanks for the help on the labels!

You really think I am smart enough to not bugger up the name tags? Probably be sharpy but I may try on my 1892 vintage printer

Garry, you're right. Tim's fleece is completely synthetic.

If anyone would be interested in helping pass out door prize tickets and have people fill out name tags just before the dinner on Tuesday night, I would appreciate it.  I'm not really looking for someone to help me per se, I'm looking for someone who will be ready to fill in just in case I'm not able (e.g. not back in time for dinner).  Call it a contingency plan.

I'll help if I'm around. I just know that I'm notorious for getting in late despite any good intentions. Heck, the group was all standing around waiting for me to arrive for the last eastern National

That's what I'm afraid of doing.  

I know some folks noted they usutally wrap up their day early and may be back well before some others.  I know I have a planned 300+ mile day that day.  Though I believe I can get in the miles in time, one just doesn't know what may happen during the day (detours, bike issues, etc...).

So assuming that you're running late, where should the prospective volunteer(s) go to find out what to do and stuff to do it with? Will you leave tickets and nametags at the front desk with an instruction sheet? That's what I suggest
