Re: [CODE4LIB] ACTION REQUESTED: Volunteer for 2015 Conference Committees
Hi, Sara: As the local contact for the new ³child care² committee, I contact the ³Big Top Event Child Care² at Portland, and below is their response: We have done events with up to 150 kids. We ask that you provide a space big enough to accommodate 35sf per child. We bring in all the activities, from arts and crafts, Wii¹s, movies, rest mats, cribs, changing supplies, etc. The price is dependent on how many kiddos are attending your event and the ages as well as how many hours you are looking for care. For instance, we stay below state ratios for infants and bring 1 caregiver for 2 infants and 1 caregiver for 4 2-3 year olds. Because we don¹t know kiddos ahead of time we like to ensure parents feel comfortable with anything from check in/check out procedures, leaving the door open with a baby gate up so parents can peak in any time they like to keeping our ratios down because we know kiddos have a hard time being away from Mommas and Dads. We require a 50% deposit upon booking your event and you can change the number of kiddos and ages up to 3 days before your event. I can add you to our current events list and as you have a rough estimate number of kiddos and ages get you a proposal. it looks like your event is in our local area so there will be no charge for mileage, hotels or food for caregivers. Please let me know what is your idea. Thanks ‹ Hui On 8/13/14, 2:39 PM, Salazar, Christina christina.sala...@csuci.edu wrote: YESSS! Anyone else? And I am willing to help out in whatever capacity.

Re: [CODE4LIB] ACTION REQUESTED: Volunteer for 2015 Conference Committees
So, I realize we are a great volunteer organization with lots of trustworthy folks -- but this is something where if you are going to be offering child care, it cannot be by committee or volunteer. For an event like this, you will need to use someone that has been background checked and would need to be someone trained to deal with medical issues and handling special needs. Fortunately, the Oregon State University Library has a relationship with a group that offers child care to students while they are in the library -- I'm wondering if that group could be hired to provide care for this event if this was something folks wanted. --TR -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Salazar, Christina Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2014 5:40 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] ACTION REQUESTED: Volunteer for 2015 Conference Committees YESSS!

Re: [CODE4LIB] ACTION REQUESTED: Volunteer for 2015 Conference Committees
Sara: that is a fabulous idea! Do you mind if I add you (and Chirstina?) to the wiki page under a new 'childcare committee' heading? That way the host committee can communicate with you about assessing needs and feasibility. - Tom On Wed, Aug 13, 2014 at 2:44 PM, Terry Reese ree...@gmail.com wrote: So, I realize we are a great volunteer organization with lots of trustworthy folks -- but this is something where if you are going to be offering child care, it cannot be by committee or volunteer.

Re: [CODE4LIB] ACTION REQUESTED: Volunteer for 2015 Conference Committees
Thanks Tom for the message! I was wondering about this today. I may be jumping the gun, but I'm hoping to start t-shirt and pre-conferences planning very soon (now?). As regards t-shirts, do we change printers/shirt types/colors each year? Should we look for a PDX-based printer to support local business? PDX people tell me if you prefer a color. Otherwise, expect the call for tshirts designs to go out in the next few weeks, with voting happening in late November. We can work out the other questions in the committee. As regards pre-conferences, can someone give me an idea of what space(s) they might be in? How many we could have? In the next few weeks we can also put out the first call for pre-conf proposals, which can also give us an idea of tech/infrastructure needed. If I can help otherwise please let me know. I'm looking forward to c4l 2015.
