Charlie & Nila, Doug, Rich, & Jim,

Thank you so much for the support your giving! It is helping! I've received 4 Sets of volunteers since this thread was posted! Thank you!

Just so you all know, they are right. A Rally can be a whole lot of fun! Especially when everyone pitches in. If you were at the Buellton Rally last year, you know what I mean.

Mel & I were coordinators for 4 Events, "The Meet & Greet, Potluck Scramble, Catered Dinner, and the White Elephant Exchange" at the Buellton Rally. We had NEVER done any of that kind of stuff before, but because that's all we had to worry about, we recruited the help we needed, and with the help of everyone else pitching in, it went pretty smoothly, and Dennis & Mary Kay were free to handle all the other stuff a Wagon Master has to deal with. Now if we could do all of those things in one rally, anyone could do only ONE of the events without any fuss at all!!! (although I wouldn't recommend more than one or two. LOL).

But now,.... Back to our Tucson Rally.....We still need someone to handle the White Elephant Event, of which I have already done most of the work for, we just need some to do the event and give us a little bit of a break.

Another, what I would call "Big" Event is the Safety Semminar! We were hoping to get the local fire department to come in but, because we are not local, they will not do it without a charge of like $40-$60 per person, so....that is out! We left it in the Agenda in hopes that SOMEONE with "First Aid, or Fire Safety, or maybe an EMT" experience would volunteer to give us a quick little semminar. BUT......It looks as though I may have to print out stuff from the internet now and just post them on the bulletin board for everyone who is interested in seeing the info, if we can't get SOMEONE to volunteer! Does that sound sad-soppy enough?

We also need someone to put together and keep organized a small table in the Catalina Room for everyone to use as a "book exchange" and to keep up our Bulletin Board, and to maintain sign-up sheets for whatever coordinator needs. Now, that doesn't sound too hard does it?

Also, How about someone coming up with a way to have some kind of a game tournament? Many people have asked about it, but no-one has stepped up to say, "hey, I'll make it happen". Any takers?

Okay, I'll get off my "high horse" now and just say.....
Please, help us all to make this a really memorable Rally! Join In!

Thanks again guys!
