Gen Con Indy volunteer call

[LadyEyes]

For those that might be interested in attending Gen Con Indy this year...

**********

It's that time of year again. Time to get everything organized and
ready for Gen Con 2009. Event submission starts this week and we, as
always, are going to need your help keeping it all going smoothly.

Our volunteer staff and I organize all the MHE or Miniatures Hobby
Events for Gen Con Indy. That includes the hobby classes, Paint &
Take, Demonstration tables, Speed Paint Arena and a lot more.

If you'd like to join us in our general paint-laden insanity, I want
to hear from you. We're always looking for a a few good people to help
us out. Even if you don't paint, or you only have a couple of hours,
we need your help to keep these great events going.

If there's a class you've been wanting to teach, something you feel
needs sharing with the rest of the miniatures community, I'll
introduce you to our classroom wrangler who will help you with
everything you need to teach a class at Gen Con, whether or not you've
ever given a class before.

Our instructors and volunteers can earn free badges and offsetting of
hotel costs. You will be paid the majority of ticket proceeds to
offset your time and materials. We'll help guide you through the
submission process, assist with making sure you get supplies, handouts
ready, and help with setup and clean up, as well as handling ticket
paperwork and security during classes and for your stored class materials.

For all those of you who have been with us before, I'm letting you
know that things will be run pretty much the same except for one major
change, which is that Sue Wachowski is stepping back and I'm taking
over the reins.

Sue has put in a huge amount of time and effort for several years in a row, even doing the job while undergoing chemotherapy. This year she is stepping back to focus on her health and family needs. Noel is bravely stepping up, and she's got the same support crew that Sue has had. We think this year will be another great one.

I know that most folks here can't make it to Indianapolis, but a girl can hope, right?

Sure, I can help - if you provide me with a plain ticket, place to sleep and some food.
Good luck Noel! I'm sure you'll be a great coordinator

[Demi_morgana]

one of the events which keep remaining out of my reach...

[Neolis]

Eh not missing out to much guys Noel, Sue and Tanya put you to work then whip you when your not working fast enough...... with that said I should be able to donate more time this year and may or may not be there with a massage chair.

When is it this year LE?

[paintminion]

August 13-16! And yep, Noel is doing fine so far, with just a few raised eyebrows and words of advice from me. She takes nudges well. And Tanya didn't mention that she herself has been a great help on the Lead team for MHE...and will be this year again!

[Dragyn]

Thanks Sue. *Runs off to check the work project schedule*

Eh not missing out to much guys Noel, Sue and Tanya put you to work then whip you when your not working fast enough......

Wow! Scheduling has barely begun and he's already talking smack about me! I see how it is, bucko.

Oh, and Nameless, we could work out the hotel room (which usually has a small refrigerator and sometimes a coffee pot) and your entry fee (badge). Heck, if anyone comes over from Europe that I know from CofC, I'll personally pay for your limo ride to and from the airport.

Ok, ok... it's still not a plane ticket. Sorry.
