DECORATIONS

*You are responsible for Decorating the Dining Hall & Providing balloons for the Birthday Celebration

• Incoming commitment takes home helium tank & decoration box
• $100.00 budget (includes cost of filling tank)
• Decorations is primarily the Dining Hall, but you can decorate the Big Hall if you like!
• Clean up the decorations in the dining hall right after dinner
• Make sure all your decorations are cleaned up in the lodge Sunday morning before the spiritual meeting
• Sometimes the raffle & decoration committees keep to the same theme, but this isn’t necessary or required

For the Dining Hall:

• 16 tables
• The helium is for the dining hall balloons, not birthday celebration
• Pick a theme
• Get volunteers to commit to help you (2 or 3 at least)
• **Inventory the box-use what you like**

• Each speaker will speak for ~ 30-40 minutes
• Speakers may be a couple
• Speaker chair opens the Saturday night meeting with a 10 minute lead
• The main speakers do not pay for Camp

---

THE STORE

*there is a 30% mark-up from cost

• You will man (no sexism intended) the Store during it’s normal operating hours of 8am-4pm
• Put out a sign-up sheet early on Friday afternoon & ask people to sign-up for 1 or 2 hour shifts. There are regulars who enjoy watching the store & will likely offer to help you or just show up: let them.
• Open the store as early as possible on Friday
• Camp Fashions (Camp Fashions will bring the stuff for the store) & snacks are sold in the store
• Fold the fashions as needed & keep the store tidy.
• Get the cash box from the treasurer; find out if you keep it the whole weekend or if the treasurer wants it back. Empty it out every once in a while, write down the amount you have, and give the cash to the treasurer.

---

CAMP FASHIONS

• Budget: $1,500.00
• Mark-up: 40% (less for high-priced items like hoodies, but usually a bit more for T-shirts); put together a price sheet for the Camp Store people before each camp. Make sure to include printing costs before you figure out the markup, and strike a balance between affordability and making money for the camp (most of the time — this rarely happens at too many camps in a row, but we like to maximize it).
• Try to inventory the remaining camp fashions before they are put in the camp storage unit on Sunday. The storekeeper packs them up on Sunday morning, but if you help pack, your inventory is right in front of you. Otherwise, arrange to get an inventory after camp from the Camp Store Chair.
• Camp apparel generally consists of T-shirts (long and short sleeve) and hoodies, and either sweatpants (spring camp) or shorts (fall camp). Those are the staples — then there are tank tops for men and women, yoga pants, and items such as hats, fanny packs, and the like. You might check with the committee members to determine what “extras” there might be; the ultimate decision is with you though, if you stay within your standard budget. (A group conscience will be needed from the committee chairs if extra funds are needed to “special purchase” items that would be sold over two or more camps. Non-apparel souvenirs are sometimes jointly discussed between the Promotions Chair and the Fashion Chair, but either can request extra monies for special one-time purchases.)
• We own the artwork (get the artwork from the previous Fashions chair, or the Promotions Chair), and you can order from whatever vendor you choose. We have, however, used certain vendors with some success in the past; check with prior Camp Fashion Chairs.
• You’ll need to get a check from the Treasurer/Registrar before the vendor needs it, and of course you’ll need to order everything in time to get printing completed well before camp.

• There are two constant coffee stations:
• #1 Coffee station is off the large meeting hall where the phone booth is
• #2 Coffee station is in the Store
• Another coffee station outside the dining hall during meal times. This will have coffee only with condiments: start preparing this 1 hour before dinner

#1 Station: (off the meeting hall)

• • 2 Regular Coffee pots
  • 1 Decaf
  • 1 water
  • Creamer, Equal, sugar, stirrers

#2 Station (the Store)

• • 1 Regular Coffee
  • 1 Decaf
  • 1 hot water
  • Creamer, Equal, sugar, stirrers, etc.

Friday:

• Get to camp – 10:00am
• Start brewing 1 of the pots
• Spread the coffee pots around, otherwise we blow a circuit!
• Use the water from the hose outside the phone room-it’s fresh, from the mountains!!
• Pots are heavy when they are full of coffee, water, etc—ask for help if you need it

(Suggested brewing schedule)

• ***Station #1*** (Piano/phone booth room off main meeting hall)
  • 1 regular pot in the phone room
  • 1 regular pot in the meeting hall {there are outlets along the wall, under the windows}
  • once these pots have brewed, move them back into the phone room.
  • Then start brewing a decaf in the phone room.
• ***Station #2*** (The Store)
  • 1 regular coffee
  • 1 decaf
  • I hot water
• Remember. you can only brew one pot at a time at each station, but they can all be on for warming

• Consolidate coffee pots. e.g., if you have two half filled pots, consolidate to one, and start a fresh pot.
• Before the night time meetings there is a rush for coffee; start getting ready around 4:30 for the rush!
• The last coffee crew person at night (around 10:00 pm) should consolidate pots & get the morning coffee ready, so the am person {4:30} just has to plug them in.
• As coffee chair, you are responsible to make sure there is always coffee & supplies
  • USE YOUR CREW!! and DELEGATE! <-
• Each coffee shift person is responsible for coffee & supplies
• On Sunday after the closing meeting, find the new coffee chair for next Camp. This is the person who will be taking the pots home. Have them & your crew help you clean-up, this way, the in-coming coffee chair will have some idea of where things are, etc.
• This is a wonderful, and very important commitment-great way to meet people and be of service! Remember to ask for help & direction!!
