PETERSON Carrie A <br /> From: NILES Laura M <br /> Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 1:23 PM <br /> To: PETERSON Carrie A <br /> Subject: Declined: Volunteer Recognition Event Planning <br /> Carrie, <br /> I had a late breaking required meeting added to my calendar while I was away. Please excuse <br /> my inability to attend this crucial first meeting. A couple of things I would like to add to the <br /> review of last year's event; <br /> 1. Do we really need displays? They were time consuming and didn't receive allot of attention <br /> (except getting them out of the rain!) <br /> 2. Wouldn't it be great if we had the City Manager invite our volunteers to this city -wide event? <br /> Dennis is definitely willing to even SIGN all the invitations that go out! On City card stock this <br /> invitation could be perceived as more personal and bind all of our organizations together. <br /> 3. Definitely have sign in tables again but use alpha sign in process rather than program area for <br /> ease with those folks who volunteer for several programs, <br /> 4. Eliminate kid zone and focus more on volunteers. <br /> 5, Use city items for the drawing instead of purchasing gift certificates so that the city is <br /> featured not local companies. <br /> 6. Organize setup and teardown teams to ensure not everyone needs to be at the event all day. <br /> That's it for now! Good luck and Ill see you soon as I am the LRCS contact person for this event <br /> and look forward to working with you again. <br /> Laura <br /> 1 <br />
