RFC Carnival Planning Update

[Thomas Steinthal]

Welcome to the 26 new members of this mailing list!

We tried to have a planning meeting last Monday night, but it turned  
out to be a bad night for all (that is a polite was a saying no one  
showed up).  We are trying again for Tuesday 9/30 at 7:30pm at Ruby's

The Carnival is TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY.  WE ARE WAY WAY WAY BEHIND where  
we need to be.  If we can't get our act together and fast we cannot  
run a carnival.

Summary for ADD Dads:
1 - We have only 13 volunteers to work.  We need 100 (and last year  
had 107).  RESPOND TO THIS NOTE TO VOLUNTEER.
2 - We have only 6 raffle prizes donated.  Last year we had 21.   
RESPOND TO THIS NOTE WITH DONATIONS.
3 - We have some decisions to make re: the carnival, and are  
attempting to meet on Tuesday to finalize.  COME TO RUBY'S AT 7:30.
4 - Raffle sales will start later this week (once we have some more  
prizes to advertise)

Here's the detailed update and it will act as the agenda for Tuesday's  
meeting:
      1 - Rides - PM Amusement is on board.  Ed is coordinating
      2 - Food - Billy Powell is on board.  We need to tell him  
specifics on what we want (how many hot dogs, hamburgers, etc...).
      3 - Drinks - Being donated by someone already - awesome!
      4 - Time - last year was 10 - 3.  We are going with the same  
time again.
      5 - Advertising - Annette put the event in the Rye Record.  We  
need to get it announced at Mass and in the FYI.
      6 - Shifts - last year we had 9am setup, 10 - 12 shift 1, 12 - 2  
shift 2, 2 - 4 shift 3 / clean-up.  We are doing this again.
      7 - Guys to help - we need 100 slots filled.  Only 13 people  
have volunteered so far...  Last year we had 107 people volunteer
      8 - 8th graders - we are getting some to help - they get  
community service points.  Stacey Leahy is coordinating.
      9 - Prizes for rides - we need prizes.  Ed Collins took care of  
it last year and is doing it again.  We need to set a budget for him.
   10 - Tickets - we talked about having a one price bracelet and no  
tickets.  This was rejected by PM Amusements and agreed to by Ed and  
I.  The argument makes sense.  What do we charge for a ticket?  $1?  $2?
   11 - Raffle - We have 6 prizes donated.  Last year we had 21.  What  
do we charge a ticket?  $10 each?  Any volume discount?
   12 - AOB?
