>> *4. Food (cook, cleanup, monitor)* - I've spoken with Jon (guy from CC)

>>

>> members - so Dan? Dennis? Only if needed..  I hope it won't be.
>>
>> *4. Door Prizes.* This will have 2 stages - 1st showing off the loot

>> tickets. It also will involve letting people try on a few of the "sized"
>> items (that are in their own ticket-pull category.)  2nd will be pulling
>> the tickets. Depending on how many people show up and how many tickets
>> we get - there are two ways this could be done:
>>
>>      A- We announce ticket time ends at 1:30PM. ALL tickets must be in by
>>      then.  We then just start at the top of the list and pull tickets
>>      and announce them. If the crowd isn't huge this should work.
>>
>>      B - We announce ticket time ends at 1:30PM, and the doorprizes will
>>      be handed out at 2PM. We then go pull the tickets and write the
>>      number on the door-prize list sheets that I'm bringing along.  The
>>      sheets are posted near the doorprizes, and people can see if they
>>      won anything, and if they did - can go claim it.
>>
>> I'm open to any other suggestions on these two schemes.
>>
>> Door Prizes activities will require 2-4 people. It starts when we open -
>> with the display of door-prize items, and the soliciting for new
>> donations. It will end when the tickets are all given out.  I'm hoping
>> Dan T can lead this function up.
>>
>> *5. Clean up and put away.* I hope everyone stays to help with cleanup
>> and putting the Cross-Country equipment away. I also hope that we'll be
>> out of there by 4PM.
>>
>> Any other suggestions are welcome, and will be considered. but I don't

>> one of the tasks that is particularly appealing to you - please let me
>> know.
>>
>> Thanks all for making this happen!
