[Deptheads] GATEWAY DOES:

[Robyn Nixon]

Ok, new thread, to get things started.  I want to post this to various
forums but want to get everyone¹s input to add to this topic.  Put your
thinking caps on, and here is my start:

> GATEWAY 2011 is just around the corner.  Get involved with the regions largest
> gaming convention, that includes Role Playing, Miniatures, Card Games and
> Collectibles, Electronic Games, Board games and More!!  Rub elbows with over
> 1000 fellow gamers in the longest running community based gaming convention in
> Southern California.
> 
> All ages are welcome at GATEWAY, and with over 600 events running continually
> from 2pm Friday through 7pm Monday, this makes it the best gaming value in the
> area.  If you preregister the weekend badge is only $40 and this means less
> than 7 cents a game, and GATEWAY collects no additional fees for events and
> games held at its annual convention.
> 
> GATEWAY is organized and run by volunteers who take no salaries, truly
> community giving back to community, its owners are not out to make a profit at
> the expense of other gamers (unlike other conventions), the owners all have
> regular jobs outside the gaming community.
> 
> GATEWAY turns back a percentage of the admission fees as 'dealer dollars',
> which are given to participants as prizes for games and tournaments held at
> the convention.
> 
> GATWAY rewards other gamers who wish to contribute their time by providing
> Volunteer badges for GMs who run events at the convention, and doing partial
> reimbursement for volunteers who go above and beyond, by contributing most of
> their weekend to the games and enjoyment of the convention for other gamers.
> 
> GATEWAY is inclusive and welcomes the contributions and participation of
> groups and individuals who wish to contribute to the health of the gaming
> community in Southern California.  They enjoy partnerships with various gaming
> groups that come in whole and organize events throughout the convention.  Most
> of these partnerships gain reduced entry for their members by this
> partnership.
> 
> GATEWAY provides space for various groups to host large scale tournaments,
> removing the onus of hall rentals, table and chair rentals, janitorial
> services, environmental control, and allows these groups to concentrate on
> running great events.
> 
> GATEWAY hosts industry insiders and guests to provide presentations and
> lectures on topics of interest to the gaming community.


Add to this list, provide your thoughts, improvements and corrections.  I
plan on posting this in the next day or so to various lists.

Its time to get fired up!!
