Showcase/Conference (fwd)

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Hello guys,

I have been trying to get James to commit or bow out of the showcase for
the past two months; he had been waffling very heavily, still wanting to
do the job, but not having the time or energy (see below).

I have offered to take the job on this year, so James' letter here makes
it official.  I will now start assembling the team!  Charlene, I will send
you the spreadsheet of donors so we can get started there as well.

  - Erik

Hi Eric,

Sorry to have been so silent, but I haven't been around much over the past
few weeks. I spent a couple of weeks back in hospital during the later part
of last month and the first week of April and then when to my sister's for a
few days once I was released. I just don't have much "oomph" in me right now
to even look after myself fully.

So it looks like I'll have to bow out of any participation in the Showcase
this year - I just don't have the energy. You have the most recent copy of
the contact spreadsheet that I used for getting in touch with the donor
companies, so someone should have no problem re-tracing my steps to get
donations for this year. As far as I can see, the only things remaining from
last year's event yet to do is get that big tank listed on e-bay (didn't you
say that you'd take care of that ?) and for the final accounting of expenses
to be submitted with receipts to the AGA treasurer. I hope to get onto that
next week - everything is in an envelope here somewhere. I'll have to find
out from David how much expense he incurred to ship prizes from his place as
well, and include those figures in my final report to the AGA.

Hope you have a nice Easter.......

Take care,

James Purchase
