Final Preparations for Memorial | for Doug

Hello everyone,

Plans are coming along for Doug's remembrance gathering.
It will be held on Thursday, March 5, starting at 5:00 PM at Tynehead Community Hall. Details on our website http://escapevelocity.bc.ca/. If you are unable to come until later, that is fine. We have the hall until 9:00 PM.

However, we still have a number of requests for help on various tasks.

MUSIC
1. It would be nice to have some recorded music that would be suitable for the event, so we will be counting on a few people to supply music on portable devices [iPODs or whatever]. Ideally, it would be nice if one person could step forward and take on this to make certain that there is enough music and make sure that it is theme-appropriate. My music collection is somewhat limited. I do not think that Bach's Brandenburg Concertos would be well suited to the event. I have found some lists of music on the internet that would be a good round choice. I can supply a small portable amplifier and speakers. If anyone has anything more suitable, please let me know.

PHOTOS
2. If you have any photographs of Doug, please send electronic copies so that we can have them printed in advance. If you have any stories or memories of Doug that you would like to share, please pass them on. Photos and stories can be submitted by email to: rememberingdoug@telus.net

FOOD
3. We are asking people to take some snack food that can be shared amongst those in attendance. Veggie and fruit plates, cookies and things like that would be great. We should also have juice and pop. Please let me know if you are able to help us out in that respect.

CLEAN-UP
4. When we are done for the evening, we need to leave the hall spotlessly clean. A clean-up crew of a half-dozen or so would make fast work of this.

WRITTING SKILLS
5. If you have had experience in writing memorial bulletins, please contact me. Same if you are good at putting some type of A-V presentation together. This may or may not be feasible.

Thanks for reading and hope to see you on Thursday. Don't forget, March starts immediately.
