Nats123 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hi Ladies,I am sure you guys will do a great job like like last time!!!! It was a fantabulous day.Can I suggest that we maybe put our names as well as forum names on the name labels. I for one is in contact with so many people here on the forum and would love to but faces to everyone but sometimes you can not "recognise" them from their real names.Just a thought!Nats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doortjie Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Can I suggest that we maybe put our names as well as forum names on the name labels.Good idea, Nats. As long as they are willing to provide their "aliases". Koosdup, Linda, Tanja - thank you and we look forward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Good idea, Nats. As long as they are willing to provide their "aliases". Maybe to make things easier for Elana (the name lady.... hehehehehehe skies koeks konnie weerstaan nie!!!), we could all get our own name tags/stickers on??? Then we can put as much details on as we want to... and then Elana only has to worry to get names on people who forgot......????Just a thought!!!!

Nice to have people participate in the "organizing".But it is really not too hard. Besides, when we do the name tags we make an effort to personally welcome every family that arrives and that way we can also keep a headcount.Please let the ideas flow...

Mara Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well welcome all of you, I hope that it is a lovely sunny day, and that the turnout is at least as good as the last time, I think they stopped counting when they had issued something like 260 labels and they did not give any to the kids. So come on all you Melbournians and Victorians, make an effort to be there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
