Thanks! We need to do better at our next event.
This is, I suppose, an up front example illustrating something told to me on Sunday by a
Morrisville CERT member. I worked the Rock n Roll Marathon and crossed paths with two CERT
members from the Morrisville group. I have been asking EVERYONE I meet who might have
helpful insights for us as we get started, "What advice do you have for us?" One
response to this question was organization.
There were some helpful hints garnered from the Ham Radio gathering as well.
Ha! Our learning curve should be compact since we seem to be making all the mistakes up
front in rapid succession.
We are learning. :)
Thanks again, Bob.

Good morning Shirley,
Just wanted you to know that Samantha's tablecloth and Kim's sign holders were
found! They somehow got put with Bob's things and never left Ace. When I went in to do
a final check after my car was loaded, they were not in the area we worked, so someone who
didn't realize whose they were placed them with the Ace stuff and they were already
taken away.
Now you can regain your sanity :)

with the two posters, the sign-up sheet, a box of brochures, and Samantha's display
board.

out copies of Bob's Ace Seaboard prices, Bob King's circular white tablecloth,
plus his furniture. Your backpack and notebook were included in that although someone
thought they had heard that you said you would return to Ace at the close of the event. (
I assumed later from the posts that you had been rescuing that poor dog - thank you again
for that!)

>>> I don't remember any acrylic sign holders at all, but, as I stated,
EVERYTHING was placed in Don's car. The first thing to do would probably be to contact
him and ask him to check there for items that might have slipped under the seat or
something.

>>> Samantha's green CERT tablecloth was folded and replaced in it's
zippered case and also placed in Don's car along with the other things.
