RFC Carnival Schedule update - WE NEED WAY MORE HELP!

[Thomas Steinthal]

Okay guys - we have a carnival on Saturday.  The forecast for Saturday  
is sunny in the high 60's.  Perfect!

As of the last update I received this morning, we have pre-sold $2300  
in raffle tickets.  The prize list will go around again tomorrow from  
Ed and Andy.  The raffle is shaping up very nicely.  Thanks for the  
donations and the pre-purchases.

Now the bad news...
We need 25 people to run the rides.  We need 4 people to run the food  
prep and food and drink sales.  We need 2 people to man the money  
booth.  We need 2 people coordinating things.  Add that up...  33  
people a shift.  Ed, Tim, and I are there all day.  That gets us to a  
need number of 30 people per shift.  Our number of volunteers is UNDER  
HALF AS WE HAD LAST YEAR!

Okay...  Here's details of where we are:
1) I've changed the shifts.  Setup and shift 1 are now one shift and  
called shift 1, and we only have 3 shifts, not 4.  Therefore, the  
shifts are longer.   Shift 3 also does clean-up.  Why do this?  Simply  
to get the overall need of people down by 30 people!

See the grid below for the raw ugliness of the numbers.
Time	Shift	We need	We have	We are short
8:30 - 11:00	Shift 1	30	5	-25
11:00 - 1:30	Shift 2	30	18	-12
1:30 - 4:00	Shift 3	30	13	-17
All Day	All Day	3	3	0

2) We need more of you to volunteer.  I understand some can't make it  
due to the holiday weekend, but if you are in town, let's make it work  
some how!!!  Soccer just does not take that long.  Your wives can  
cover soccer and you cover the carnival.  Get a grandparent to do  
soccer...  We simply can't run the rides without more help.

3) I have scheduled the current volunteers as follows (and thank you  
all!!!!).  If you want to do more, please let me know.  If you want to  
change shifts, please let me know.  For those of you who have asked  
for certain roles, I have that in the master spreadsheet.
