Web Site: Wordpress is running on <a href="http://dev.strategicon.net" class="">dev.strategicon.net</a>. It is important to realize that with the dev site being a work in progress all non-content changes to the live site currently have to be made directly to the live site. This means that only broken things or requests deemed urgent enough will likely be fixed until the migration to Wordpress is complete. After all, I might break things even more while trying to change stuff.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If anyone wants a Wordpress account, email me and Mei. We need to know what pages you feel you need to edit. You will notice that <a href="http://dev.strategicon.net" class="">dev.strategicon.net</a> is missing a lot of content. If you wish to edit the live content Mei or I will copy over that page’s content when your account is created. Once you have made your changes, let me know and I will move the updates live. If you plan to be updating regularly or have been itching to change content on a page, you might as well start now. :)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">F: Already sent out info on this, but volunteers needing access to the link need their badge attached to a Strategicon account.

Q & A</div><div class="">Family Area also needs volunteers badly before I burn out. I had a really nice Gamex, plenty of help. I’m amazed how well I dealt with Gateway. Compared to Gamex, it felt like virtually no help, mainly because of the hours I couldn't be there were also the ones the potential volunteers couldn’t make.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">These volunteers need to be comfortable working in an area frequented by kids. We supply games and puzzles for kids as young as 3 and we often have even younger kids stop by. Need at least one person manning the HQ between 8am and 8pm Saturday and Sunday. I have zero volunteers directly assigned to me, and I’m running events most of those days. Most needed times are 8am to 10am, and any times I’m running events in Video Games (one 2 hr event Saturday and Sunday). If I had a choice of volunteers for the 8am slot, it would be one with organizational skills as the HQ has to be set up. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Also, considering expanding to Friday from Noon to 8pm and Monday from 8am to 2pm, if I can get the people.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Oct 31, 2017, at 8:22 PM, Strategicon Department Heads <<a href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net" class="">deptheads@strategicon.net</a>> wrote:</div><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><span class="gmail-im" style="font-size:12.8px"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6pt">Strategicon 2018 Planning Meeting Minutes 22 October 2017</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6pt"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;" class="">III.

Fix our volunteer attendance accounting procedures – If a GM/Volunteer has a purchased badge, the department head will need to submit a badge form to get the person a GM/Volunteer badge. The purchased badge will then need to be turned in for reimbursement. If this procedure is not followed, Tracy is allowed to assault you in the method of her choosing, probably verbal, but why risk it?</p><div class="gmail-yj6qo gmail-ajU" style="margin:2px 0px 0px;font-size:12.8px"><div id="gmail-:p8" class="gmail-ajR" tabindex="0"><img class="gmail-ajT" src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif"></div></div><div class="gmail-adL" style="font-size:12.8px"><span class="gmail-im"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6pt"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;" class="">V.
