[kids] Kid's day coming up
Tue, 8 Dec 1998 10:39:44 -0800 (PST)
There is one coming soon - see January QST for more info, or here
are the rules. Also, I really need someone to take over doing the
tasks #1 and #3. I haven't been able to do these myself on a timely
basis.
1. Generation of a spread sheet showing who all was on (this
requires looking at the posts and some of the logs). We need
to verify as much information as possible, using at least two
log entries to validate names.
2. Certification printing is currently being done by K9IG (is this
still true Greg?).
3. Stuffing envelopes and mailing certificates.
Tree (rules follow)
