What: A call for volunteers for the Storage locker cleanup this Saturday.
Where: The Mindbridge storage locker. About 1/3 of a mile west of Hwy 965 on Penn St in North Liberty. Penn St also leads to North Liberty exit on I-380. Locker 21 (Blackjack!). Try entering <41°45’10.66″N 91°36’51.43″W> in maps.google.com.
When: This Saturday, May 16th. Starting at Noon. Depending on the number of people who show up, It usually takes a little less than 2 hours. Note: on Friday night, If the weather forecast calls for rain, then Marty will post to the Mindbridge email list that the clean-up has been canceled and will offer a new time.
Why: Because Marty doesn”t want to do it all by himself… If you work a department at a con, here’s your chance to do your own personal inventory. Volunteer points will also be rewarded. Or maybe you’ll be in charge of the inventory of volunteer prizage ; )
How: We will take most everything out of the storage locker. The contents of all boxes and totes are checked. Labels will be applied/corrected/checked on everything. A rough inventory will be compiled. Everything will be put back into the locker as neatly and well packed as possible.
Who: Hopefully, you.
Hello everyone,
it is coming to be that time of the year again when we have our Annual Meeting. One of the few elements which is required from the membership is to supply the PrePlanning Committee with a list of names of people that they would like to see as potential guests or each of the conventions. If everyone could please put together a list of 5 names or each project with a ranking of 1 – 5, it would be appreciated. Please list people as first pick, second and so on and so forth. If you do not know the first thing about one of the projects and are uncomfortable making suggestions, then please do not make any for that project.
Thank you and I look forward to getting teh results at the May meeting so they can be presented at the Annual Meeting.
As mentioned previously, Mindbridge is starting up a Film group. We’ve held our first meeting to select the initial movies we’ll be watching. Our first film is Let the Right One In and we plan on discussing it on Friday, April 3rd at the home of Bryon Stump — 108 Prospect Street Blairstown, IA (directions available upon request).
Below is a list of the movies we have selected to watch and discuss over the next 12 months.
