[Deptheads] Get events up ASAP!

Sun Jun 6 19:29:16 PDT 2010

John,
Board Games will run cribbage.  You apparently have  a moderator in mind, so have this person tell Neil he/she will do it. It did not run this last con because no one came forward to run it.   Board Games do not belong all over the place, but in one location. This is easy to add to the schedule and be handled by the desk. 

Gayle

I understand this....the only reason we were going to do it was because there was no cribbage and Neil said he had no one running it, and I was focusing on things that are not being run.
