Why the reunion is doomed without your help

Hey, guys
The reunion is still planned for Aug. 1 and 2- only one month away! The deadline to buy tickets, July 18, is getting closer and closer.
Thanks to everyone who has purchased tickets at paypal.com already.
Your reunion organizer-- that's me-- lives in Southern California and is 8 1/2 months pregnant right now, so I won't be able to attend the reunion. We need your help to have a successful reunion. Right now I only have one or two people who have shown interest in volunteering, which means our reunion is in danger of being a big flop without your help. I won't be there to help run things. If your parents still live in the Boise area, please consider asking them to volunteer as well.
Here is a list of things we need volunteers for. Most of these things are not too labor intensive. I just need people who are willing to commit themselves to the job.
Please e-mail me if you can help, briannabailey80@hotmail.com.

1) greeters to check off attendees as they arrive and make and pass out name tags at the Aug. 1 dinner and Aug. 2 barbecue. This would be fun for someone who wants to make sure they get a chance to talk to everyone as they arrive.
2) People to decorate the Rose Room before the Aug. 1 dinner event. This would be a lot of fun for creative people.
3) Cooks for the Aug. 2 barbecue-- we need people to flip burgers at the barbecue, hopefully we can get enough people to work a few shifts
4) I would really like someone to create a Power Point slide show of alumni photographs for the Aug. 1 dinner event. This would entail collecting alumni-submitted digital photos, compiling them into a slide show and obtaining and setting up a projector at the dinner venue. This would be good for a creative, tech-savvy person.
5) I would like to get someone to volunteer to call local businesses to get prizes donated for the dinner event. I also would like to get someone willing to be in charge of announcing alumni award winners and passing out prizes at the dinner. I hope to be able to pass out prizes in a variety of categories, such as most changed, most kids, farthest traveled away from home, etc. This will not happen without volunteers.
6) We also need people to help clean up and tear things down after both the dinner and the barbecue.
If you haven't done so yet, please purchase tickets at paypal.com under my account, brianna.bailey@latimes.com.
Ticket prices and reunion information is available here on our class blog or at our myspace group: groups.myspace.com/borah98.
Don't forget to fill out an alumni survey, which will be used to hand out alumni prizes! The survey also is available at the myspace group or on the blog.
