A broken man on a Halifax pier, the last of Barret
Well, I'm sure Linda and Scott will belabor me about the head for starting this to early, but I've always been an impatient lad.
The JREF got a lot of free work out of the Board denizens last TAM3, and I see no reason that they shouldn't get the same labor at the same price this year. For one, it helps the JREF keep costs down; for two, it's a great way to meet and socialize with other JREF members, especially if you've never met many of them, and three, I mean, what else are you going to do in Las Vegas, Nevada, huh?
There are four major tasks that we did last year, IIRC:
Packet Assembly--This was done by some of the early arrivers on Wednesday, mostly putting the information packets togeher and taking them over to the registration area.
Registration--This helped Linda and others with getting folks who had pre-registered their packets and also distributing stuff (t-shirts). I call dibs on this Linda, anytime after 2:30PM Thursday and I'm there.
Booksale--During the TAM, there is a large number of books being sold. You get to restock the books and keep them neat. CF Larsen LIVES there during TAM4 and tolerates the other volunteers who work with them as long as they don't make a nuisance of themselves.
Cleanup--For the leftover crew Sunday, we get to help move tables and chairs and cart the remaining stuff from Registration back to the Work room--and believe me, it saves the JREF some $$$ not having to hire Vegas labor to do the work.
So think about volunteering--it does help and it's a great way to meet people and know what is going on (or so I heard, nobody ever told me ANYTHING
)
I forget anything, folks? Linda, you going to organize this?
