[Deptheads] Trying to solve the Parking situation where we're at

[Victor B]

The idea is good but it must be implemented with tact.
We are staff. we see things differently than other people. We do not have 150 volunteers to go stand outside. 
Current volunteers signed on to perform specific tasks - gm a game, run a tourney, work desk etc. and several are not physically able or willing to stand in the heat one of these days.Basically they did not volunteer to stand outside and hold a sign so we cannot demand or expect them to. Example: 3 of my volunteers run large tourneys on saturday and show up an hour before and are there for the full 10 hours of the tourney judging, answering rules questions, arbitrating, making sure decks are legal, etc. The events end after 10 pm and they are gone. Other department have the same situation (miniatures, boardgames, rpgs, rpgas, larps, etc.) basically more than half the volunteers have no free con time from their events. 
We need gophers and volunteers that specifically sign on to do the job.
Early in morning saturday til late afternoon is most vital. Have a handful of people do it and they can rotate around, work in teams at times to prevent boredom as well as singly at times etc. Working in pairs will help make the time go faster for them. Seek volunteers to do this and offer them badges. You will get volunteers. There are always people looking for a free badge to the con without having to gm or run a game.
