So much stuff going on that it’s hard to keep track of; as of this moment, we’re at budget, which means that all of my expenses are able to be paid. I’m still working on getting a little more funding (just in case we need it), but I’m feeling really good about things right now. I’ve still got a long list of stuff to do, but we’re getting there.
Just in case you care, here’s my remaining to-do items:
1. Make sure that the restaurant is still available on April 24th for the speaker’s dinner. I sent a request in, and got a few initial emails, but haven’t heard back. I need to follow up with that.
2. Need name badges for volunteers, and hopefully for all of the registrants. My wife said I could find some at Office Max, which is good, because I was getting prices on fancy lanyards (which we don’t need).
3. Pick up event bags; Regions Bank is actually donating the event bags to us, so here’s a little shout out to them 🙂
4. Prep the event guide. The Microsoft conference center has names for its rooms, so I need to go back and change the names of the tracks to match. Should simplify my life as best I can.
5. Prepare my volunteer army for stuff they need to do. I still haven’t laid out a logistical plan, which I need to do soon.
6. The week before the event is going to be printer mayhem; I need to check on prices at the various business stores to see what printing the event guide will cost me.
7. Pursue the non-pays on the lunch fee list, as well as prepare to reimburse volunteers who paid.
8. Contact the SQL Short Session Speakers and see where they are at with their topics.
Ugggh. Too much stuff to do. On the plus side, free stuff is continuing to come in, so that’s exciting.
