Help needed at the Net54baseball Dinner at the National....

[Leon]

As the title says, I need some help at the Net54baseball Dinner at the National, on Friday August 2. I need 2 people, over the age of 18, to help with the entry of our guests at the Dinner. These 2 people will be sitting at the front of the banquet room when folks enter, either inside or outside of the room, not sure yet. They will make sure everyone fills out a name tag with First and Last name, and this year with a USER ID from the board too. I will be wearing one too. If you don't want to wear a name tag, no problem, don’t come to the Dinner. Believe me; it helps almost every single person to have everyone wearing one. Also, this year it will be a tiny bit more formal in check-in. What I mean is that if you RSVP this year, and don't come to it and don't tell me you aren't, then you won't be invited to the next one.The helpers will have RSVP lists to check off on admittance. The cost is around $70 per person (of course free to all members) and at least half of that is based on head count. All that being said, whoever volunteers for this job (about an hour to an hour and a half of the first part of the six hour affair....) will get a free media pass to the show, for all days, courtesy of Mike Berkus, the show promoter and founder. That pass will allow you to get free early admission each day there. It does NOT include autographs but is still a pretty good gift for an hour and a half of doing me a favor. If anyone is having a difficult tim with the monies, that is who I would like to hear from first. ****Edited to add that in a few days I will make a final decision. I won't make it public. There have been quite a few folks offer so far. Thanks to all..

Well, my autograph is a net negative, but I will freely give it out. Also, I will eventually pick 2 folks that really seem like they need the bit of financial help to go to the National. I want to make it a win-win and help folks.....PM'ing is fine too.....

I really respect this. I think the decision is top notch.

I understand completely and if this is a tipping point for some of those on the fence about making it they would be well deserving. Especially a newbie! First "hit" is free and they'll be addicted. (This is my 18th-20th Nat'l-lost track. I'm going either way and while my card fund is not a lot, I will have a great time! Looking forward to my 1st Net54 dinner.

That being said, if I can help in any other way, please let me know.

Thanks guys.....Yeap, I am looking for a few folks, first, who might be on the fence due to budgetary constraints. I appreciate the few folks honesty so far. And if no one steps up (again, PM'ing or emailing is ok too) then I will go to the other folks. And the reason for the minimum age limit is because whoever does it will be handing out drink tickets too.

Shouldn't they have to be over 21 instead of over 18 then, if it's because of handing out drink tickets?

Leon I would be interested in helping.

Please let me know?

Thanks
