January Frag Swap

[crumbletop]

Hello everyone in MTRC land!

It may seem early, but it's time to start planning for the January Swap. We are planning on putting together a Frag Swap Committee and Moriah Guise has agreed to serve as chair

We are looking for those of you out there who are interested in helping to plan and get things going. We'll also need more help as we go along (especially around the time of the Swap) but for now we just need a few interested people to help out with the planning.

Here are some things I think we need people to take the lead on:

1) Sponsors
2) location and table setup, rental, etc.
3) Swap Raffle
4) Advertising/Marketing
5) Events (e.g. fragging demo, guest speaker)
6) ??

In addition to the stuff we have done in the past, here are a few of the things I think we can do this year if there is interest:
- having a food table that the club would do and having all the proceeds from that go to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital.
- We would like to invite a big-name speaker to come and give a presentation at the swap. I am a delegate to MASNA, and have access to their speaker database and there are a lot of potential folks to engage.

As club pres, I will take the lead on the sponsors for sure. I may need help though, and anyone interested can certainly participate in as many of the "areas" as makes sense. I'm thinking we'll have a kick-off meeting sometime soon, so if you are interested in helping out with planning and organizing for this year's swap, please chime in!

I'm happy to help with getting sponsors and whatever else needs done that others don't want to do. I think we should get together soon and work a list of potential sponsors and then allocate them between me and you (and whoever else wants to help with this) so that one person isn't on the phone for 5 days calling all the sponsors.

Anyone else interested? Right now I think it is going to be Waynesworld, C_stowers, DMBillies, Mammagoose, and myself.

Im good with graphics and design, if that helps. I can also be very creative when needed.

I can help in any way you guys come up with... remotely.

Thanks, guys! I think we'll do some planning and then once we know what we will are aiming for, etc. we can pull people in as needed.

IMO, so its fair to everyone and the ones who help gets a little something extra..... If it starts at say 9am, doors do not open til then. The people selling need to be setup by like 8:30, then the people who have payed to be there to sell their stuff or the people have helped set it up have first dibs so to speak. I know last year the people selling didnt get a chance to go look around and missed out on deals and things as a result. Just my 2 cents.
