Org List:
This is the DLV 2003 Organizational Mailing List (dlvorg@geekbabe.com)
Replies to this message will be forwarded to the DLVORG list and not
the DLV-Announce or DLV-Discuss list.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Any final items:
We're about to wind down the ORG list for this year. If there are any
items still hanging or any final summarizing, please send it in.
For those of you here who have not yet taken the DLV 2000 survey,
please take it at http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/dlv2003/dlv2003survey.html
Next week we will have our yearly Call For Volunteers, and we will have
some new people joining this list.
I would like to thank each and every one of you for doing what you did
to make DLV what it was. In particular, thanks go to those who stepped
up to the plate to take care of a few time-critical last minute items.
As everybody saw, most everything went off smoothly. This is a great
group to work with!
Any additional discussion or other items, please send them in. Thanks
again, gang! Good show!

Cleaning up this list:
This ORG list started in the summer of 1999 and has grown quite a bit,
and now has quite a few addresses on it which are inactive or no longer
interested in actively organizing DLV.
I would like to do a clean-up of the list as we prepare to add the new
volunteers for this year.
Please understand that this is in no way any attempt to restrict the
list, or to remove anybody from it. It will always be open to those who
are interested in planning and implementing DLV.
I am assuming that everybody who actively organized things at this
year's DLV (those whose names appeared in the "Thank You" section of
the LFM at http://www.geekbabe.com/annie/dlv03arc/dlvlast.txt) are
interested in continuing, so I won't remove any of those unless I'm told
otherwise.
Anyway, I would like everybody else who wishes to remain on this list and
wants to take a major or minor role in planning future DLV's to please
reply to this mailing with a brief "KEEP ME ON THE LIST" message.

Comments on DLV 2003 and Thanks:
I'm breaking up Ginger's note into two parts, one which went to the
discussion list, which you should have already received, and this one
which is more organizational in nature ...

Actually, I think that is a good idea. Have a "Slut Night" or a "Pimp N
Ho" party and let everybody get it out of their system if they need to.
And I don't think it's necessary to schedule a mainstream activity
against this. I'm sure everybody could enjoy something like this. I even
have just the thing to wear! :) :)

I think the most effective thing would be to have such reminder right
at the activity for which the donation is requested, such as a sign
right by a conspicuous kitty jar and even the hostess reminding people
as they enter to feed the kitty.
Our experience has shown that when we passed out paper announcement
sheets, maps, schedules, etc., they ended up littering Goodtimes and
nobody really used them.

I prefer informal donations. I also prefer things like somebody buying
the organizers a drink, although I do appreciate the cash and the gas
donations.
