Hi All; I felt the need to comment concerning the setup for VCF East. To all below who participated with me in the tables and chairs setup, MANY THANK YOU's. If it wasn't for Tony and his crew helping, we would not be as far along as we were yesterday in progress. I felt privileged and honored to be able to help with the effort. This was a large preparation undertaking. From my viewpoint, limited as it might be, it seems that it is always Evan and Jeff B. doing all the grunt work to get a large presentation such as this off the ground and ready for public viewing. I was able to divert from my job and help yesterday so I stepped up. Being an all volunteer organization, I understand that people have jobs and other commitments during the week. We however all benefit from the 'grunt' preparation that is needed for a large festival such as this, AND as a all volunteer function, it is the members that have to help for the group as a whole. Once we all finish enjoying the fruits of the "boys' labor", then will come the cleanup. I am personally asking everyone, ANYONE willing to step up and help with the pack up after Sunday. If a few more people stepped in to help, pack up goes a hell of a lot quicker. I will not be able to help in the pack up, but then again, I did my part.
From personal experience yesterday, here's a preview of what needs to be done.
In 9032 meeting room, where most of the displays are: 1. All rented tables need to be collapsed and piled up ready for pickup by the rental co. 2. All wooden chairs need to be folded and stacked. 3. NJARC's Altec speakers, and podium need to be rolled back out and setup. 4. Info Age tables in storage need to be set back up. 5. Blue cubical dividers with 'Evan's Area' posters need to be set back up in the Hotel dining area. In the Hotel: 1. Consignment area tables need to be brought back to the large meeting area next door. 2. Chairs need to be folded up and returned to their respective areas. 3. Tables in main meeting room need to be folded up and returned. In the women's dorm in the volunteer lodging (key note speaker assembly): 1. The 100+ black folding chairs need to be folded up and returned. to 9032 and the Hotel. 2. Bunk beds need to be returned to the floor and mattresses returned to them. 3. Staging needs to be collapsed and returned to 9032. The main portion of this was setup with 5 guys in 6 hours (1 hour lunch). I wished I could have stayed longer to help, but had to leave. Now that you get a glimpse of the pack up task at hand, PLEASE can anyone help to put Info Age back in place for the next group function. Bill Inderrieden ---------- Original Message ------------

Tomorrow the tables are being delivered between 8-9am. Me, Jeff B., Bill I., and Tony's son + friend are going to set them up. Also setting up the chairs. A few tables/chairs need to be done Thursday so they don't interfere with IA being open tomorrow.
