[SBU Board] Vasa Hospitality

Mon Feb 22 13:35:29 PST 2016

So many email chains. Just catching up now. Sorry for the delay.

1.      Ann, I can help set up tables or do whatever you need at lunch when I am finished with the round.

2.      I think it is important to have safe equipment so I am happy to walk around and tape tables that I think are not in great shape. Once we realize our situation, we should put a replacement schedule/budget plan in place as this will not be a cheap endeavor (although an important one).

3.      I don’t mind washing bidding boxes in my dishwasher. Are we certain these are dishwasher safe, however?

4.      Promoting bridge at the  Geekwire bash is totally bizarre to me. The SBU should stay clear of endorsing this.

5.      The 2017 tournament schedule looks good to me. Please note that the location for the summer sectional is Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart, not Forest Ridge Academy. I just don’t want there to be any confusion if people google map the site.

I think I covered everything…

yeah, well, I have one person lined up (who is terrific--Dee Patrick). Patti's daughter is not going to work out for Vasa.

This is how I envision Sunday's lunch

  *   David Taylor will pick up the sandwiches from Costco (they will be ready by noon).  Lunch is usually started around 1:15 and done by 2:30ish.  This will depend on Mackenzie and what he wants to do.

  *   Dee Patrick will come noonish to help serve lunch.

  *   IF we all can help in the break before lunch (usually after the 3rd round), to set up the serving tables in the room, lay out plates, forks and such, put out the bottled water, etc.  that would be great.

  *   I think that Dee and David can get the sandwiches to the tables.  If David can help til the start of the lunch, then 1/2 hour before they can bring out the salads.  I will have bowls of salad with serving tongs or slotted spoons (for the three bean).  If Dee and David can keep an eye on folk to make sure they don't exceed a normal serving....  I'll relieve Dave as soon as I am done with my game.

  *   Barbara Nist and Jennifer Ballantine have said they can help serve (as needed, and when they're done), but I'd love it if a board member or two can also help.

  *   I will also need some hands with the fast cleanup (bagging garbage, shlepping to the kitchen) and such.

And finally, anyone wanna volunteer to pick up 10 bags of ice for Friday?  We need them at least an hour before the event, so if you're coming to help set up, and can stop and pick up 10 bags of ice (to be used in the water, pop coolers and such), let me know.

Ann,

Are you still in need of a couple of helpers for lunch on Sunday?  If so, perhaps we can cast the net a bit wider.  A unit member suggested to me that we consider the Millionair Club charity for help with the sectionals.  I checked the website and although there is quite of bit of admin coordination required (e.g. filling out a Business Labor Service Agreement and obtaining a customer contact person) perhaps this is a route to consider for the longer term (for set up andy tear down as well as hospitality) even if it doesn't work out for Vasa this weekend.  Perhaps the Boy Scouts would be interested in a community service project.

I have 42 cans of pop left over from the fall NLM sectional and D19 NAP event, as well as napkins, a few paper plates, tea, water container & stand, and the coffee makers I borrowed for the D19 NAP Finals.  I will bring these on Friday to Vasa.  Can we get someone to bring ice? -- if not I could get some on my way.

Thanks,
Tim
