Update prior to easter weekend… March 19, 2008

Hello y’all!

I am getting the sense that we will NOT meet this weekend. Relax and take a break! We are doing really well…weeeehoo!

Nadine:
City of Nanaimo (or is that parks and rec?) seems to be donating a lot to us as it is, isnt this true? Perhaps that should be taken in trade of a table…Chris please let us know your thoughts (all comments welcome). Otherwise yes I would say that an information table price seems appropriate.

Next meeting will be March 29th at the Vault at 10am.
-No need to mail in weekly update this week we can recap on the 29th!
-Now that we are one month away, we should be on task completion. Please come prepared on the 29th with loose ends and any assistance ‘call outs’ you may need to make to the committee.
-please also prepare yourselves for an interview on CHLY…i believe Lorelei has it in mind to set that up, i think it would be a great thing to get more than one person on that! Perhaps in lieu of a meeting?

Media & the films:
Walt and Shelley, we will need to make a schedule to complete our own flyers and advertising for the film events, as it is too much information to put on one poster and every change is really slowing down progress for Lorelei and Guy. So, as a group we can create, copy and post flyers for the films alleviating Lorelei of these new additions. (As i think Nadine W is promoting her own flyer for bike rally)
I am happy to make the flyers, please send me the text you want on each poster and I will combine! Lorelei would you be able to send me a psd file of the poster? Anyone volunteer to photocopy or posting?

Volunteer Coordinator:
As it stands i have no-one stepping up to collect volunteers, I will try and do that for now: please send me anyone who is interested in volunteering to me at earthdaynanaimo@gmail.com
Volunteer allocation:
2 volunteers for stage
2 volunteers for tables
2 volunteers for locations
4 volunteers for Nalt table
various volunteers for charles and nadine
2 volunteers for Library square-Shelley, any chance you would be able to recruit for that on your own? I predict I will be there too! I would like to see your schedule for the day, just to make sure I can be there when it is best suited for you (ie juggle with earth day at bowen)
Walt can you handle the film thing at malaspina? or do you need a volunteer that day? I predict I will be there.

All volunteers will be asked to arrive at 9am to help set up and be finished at 5pm (charles’ crew will complete at 3pm)
For take down we can recruit on the spot too!

Passing of the “earth stick”:
It would be really cool if the next person taking our position would volunteer at earth day, and we can pass on the “earth stick” as a part of the closing ceremony…I know this may be challenging…perhaps at least a shout out to anyone interested-making it known.

Please let me know of any concerns…
I would like to say: Way to go team!

Thanks and have a great weekend!
Michelle
