<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Oh - BTW ---- as to a 'shed' for Iron Key: are people aware than I am storing a fabric 'garage/shed', with heavy-duty steel poles and cover, at the back of my garden shed? Could it perhaps be 'issued' to our fighters to be erected where they have room/need? As far as I know, it hasn't been used for anything else for some years?<br><br>...Hawa (Ah-Veh)<br><br><br><br><div>> From: j_amazon@telus.net<br>> To: hartwood@tirrigh.org<br>> Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2013 20:17:39 -0700<br>> Subject: Re: [Hartwood] 2014 events<br>> <br>> Would the Masonic Hall work ?<br>> <br>> Jamie<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Have you tried the OAP hall in Fanny Bay?<br>> Contact Dan Beasley 250-335-0362<br>> Rachanda<br>> <br>> -----Original Message----- <br>> From: Valorie Lennox<br>> Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 7:19 PM<br>> To: 'Hartwood'<br>> Subject: Re: [Hartwood] 2014 events<br>> <br>> Was the OAPO hall already booked?<br>> <br>> -----Original Message-----<br>> From: Hartwood [mailto:hartwood-bounces@tirrigh.org] On Behalf Of Danielle<br>> Bevan<br>> Sent: October-01-13 7:18 PM<br>> To: Hartwood Hartwood<br>> Subject: [Hartwood] 2014 events<br>> <br>> So we're having a problem finding a hall for Yule -- we'll be looking in the<br>> Courtenay/Coombes/Port Alberni areas instead of the originally planned<br>> Nanaimo area, because all the halls are booked.<br>> <br>> Yule is a special case to a degree, because the christmas season is so busy,<br>> but it -does- underscore that council begging for an event bid a few months<br>> before an event is a recipe for failure. I mentioned it at council, but as<br>> Chair of the financial committee, I'm going to be a bit hard-nosed about<br>> having our 2014 bids in by Nov at the latest, so we can ensure everything is<br>> tickety-boo by Dec. Especially the winter event.<br>> <br>> Our main events are:<br>> <br>> Spring TUTR, ??, 4/22<br>> Fall Camping, Port Alberni: 9/22<br>> Winter Event, ??, 11/22 <-- yes, november this time.<br>> <br>> We held off on June/August reservations until we found out if we're getting<br>> any of our Principality Event Bids.<br>> <br>> If you have an event you'd like to run that isn't one of these, by all<br>> means, pitch it to us. But we need bids for these this coming, or the next,<br>> council. And when a bid is awarded, one of your first priorities will be to<br>> lock in a site.<br>> <br>> So what do event stewards need? A membership, a partner, and a budget. A<br>> budget requires a potential site. A budget also requires flexibility; if the<br>> financial committee says 'we need you to adjust your expected attendance' or<br>> 'we need you to charge another two dollars', this isn't a slam against you!<br>> It's just our job to make sure the event has the best possible chance of<br>> breaking even/making money -- especially those three above, which are really<br>> the only opportunity for our branch to make the money required to do things<br>> like buy an Iron Key shed and reserve sites for events. If you want to run<br>> an event but don't have a membership, consider the $30 associate... but if<br>> not, find a member to co-steward with you. :) We'll make it work.<br>> <br>> In the meantime, though, lets brainstorm Yule sites.<br>> <br>> ~ Cunegonda<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Hartwood mailing list<br>> Hartwood@tirrigh.org<br>> http://mail.tirrigh.org/mailman/listinfo/hartwood_tirrigh.org<br>> <br>> Forum: http://bluepage.tirrigh.org/BluepagephpBB/<br>> <br>> Website: http://hartwood.tirrigh.org/<br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Hartwood mailing list<br>> Hartwood@tirrigh.org<br>> http://mail.tirrigh.org/mailman/listinfo/hartwood_tirrigh.org<br>> <br>> Forum: http://bluepage.tirrigh.org/BluepagephpBB/<br>> <br>> Website: http://hartwood.tirrigh.org/<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Hartwood mailing list<br>> Hartwood@tirrigh.org<br>> http://mail.tirrigh.org/mailman/listinfo/hartwood_tirrigh.org<br>> <br>> Forum: http://bluepage.tirrigh.org/BluepagephpBB/<br>> <br>> Website: http://hartwood.tirrigh.org/ <br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Hartwood mailing list<br>> Hartwood@tirrigh.org<br>> http://mail.tirrigh.org/mailman/listinfo/hartwood_tirrigh.org<br>> <br>> Forum: http://bluepage.tirrigh.org/BluepagephpBB/<br>> <br>> Website: http://hartwood.tirrigh.org/<br></div> </div></body>
