List,
Tom Eldred and myself have been appointed the official Project Bundle Up
Co-Seargeants-at-Arms. We will do our best at being non-ubtrusive during the
conference. But we will endeavor to be good enforcers. For those of you
unaware of what this is, refer to www.projectbundleup.com . Notice who
manages the site!
Because of the shorter conference this year it was decided that there would
not be silent auction. We have decided to have a real auction! It will be
during the Saturday evening festivities. So bring an item to auction (or
several). Any of you that have any formal auctioneer abilities let me know
offline please.
Traditionally, the rules have included donations for any or all of the
following:
sports references
cell phone/computer noises in the room
political opinion or commentary
asking a question already answered
audible private conversations during someone's presentation, (on a phone or
not)
tracking weekend sports scores or progress on your phone or computer
("weekend pass" donation price available)
I'm sure I've forgotten some.
Last year, at the huge 10th Year Conference, we raised over $4,600. Let's
see if we can match it (or better exceed) this year.
Bring extra cash or checks for this purposes of donating to the cause.
Be aware! Your off topic references on the list are being monitored so we
can give to this worthy cause. Mr. Downall has already started with golf
references. I'm sure now that football is in full swing and basketball
coming on line that we should be able to fill the coffers.
As mentioned earlier, there will be weekend passes available. You will be
able to purchase a "pass" during registration.
Let's get motivated about the amazing things we will see at the conference
and for what we can do for those less fortuate than ourselves.
R:espectfully,
Jan Johansen
