[Deptheads] Child Care at the Convention

[Eric M. Aldrich I]

It got brought up at our December 2006 meeting, if I remember right.

If we were to do it, we'd have to put it in the La Jolla  or San Jose(?) room, I'd guess. It would have to be volunteer run. If nothing else, we could get parents to each take a 4-hour shift and plan it out in advance. This might be worth trying to set up for Gamex.

Those of you are actual parents here -- do you think this would be workable?

Eric
