Hi Conference Volunteers and Lab Rats
Sat April 22
The esteemed John Callow will be driving in from Detroit City, Michigan to help us with a walk through of the conference and assign roles for the volunteers. Basically I would like to here from all potential volunteers via a pm to me to set up a time for all of us to meet our president of the First APUG Conference.
We will have a second round of flyers that outline the event in a bit more detailed way including the sponsors and table vendors of the Sat Sizzle.
We have a need for Lab Rats as well as Flyer Distribution Rats.
If we can be a ready to blitz the camera stores and the camera clubs the week of the 24th as well have some rats attending the Contact Festival Opening and as well all the gallerys that are having shows and distributing the flyers , I need to know who wants to do what.
I have two apugers handy with plumbing and electicral will help me and my staff early the week of the Conference to get the final details ready for the facility.Thanks to Ian and Mike.
Eric Rose * APUG Conference Organizer *is one of the rats and will have to be shown the lab details when he arrives at the conference on Wed ,therefore someone has to get him up to speed when he arrives.
We are trying to assign a Rat to each instructor to basically deal with timing , coffee , and any gopher needs the instructor needs to make each workshop run smoothly. Duties will include, knowlege of the darkroom,lights,timers setting up lenses into the enlargers . Lugging camera gear setting up chairs bla bla bla. Also making sure our long winded instructors fit into their time slots and not over running into the next class as many people have taken multiple courses.
I think we will assign someone to Sean so that they can help get his head through the doors of the studios and such as I think this event is going to be quite a fun and exciting venue.
What we are looking for is Rats who will commit to their time slot and not back out or decide last minute to attend a course rather than deal with their duties.
We will try not to overextend anyones time , so that all can enjoy all the events and special outings.
The Gala Party is being handled exclusively by Elevator , All the rats are encouraged to have a good time and get to know our instructors/sponsors and introduce them to the Toronto Community that will be coming that night on a RSVP invitation.
All disputes, issues , will be dealt with by Bob Carnie, John Callow, Kevin Viner and Michelle Viner.(Kevin and Michelle are my partners with Elevator) . all issues will be dealt with by the four of us.Security Issues will be the responsiblity of this group. We will need some volunteers for the welcoming committies.
Food and Beverages at this point will be organized by my honey Laura *Pats* on APUG , and any volunteers here will be helpful.
The Bandshell/DJ booth will be handled by my long time assistant Arron Tator, some help will be needed here, but he has handled many events for us and is pretty well self sufficient.
So , April 22 is the first big walkthrough and if you are willing to donate some of your time to make this Conference run smoothly John, Eric and I would appreciate it .
