Autocrat's Little Helper

Note to Readers:

Hi! I'm only semi-organized, so this page will take a little bit to settle into something functional. In the meanwhile, thanks for stopping by, and please do email if you come up on something that makes you say "wtf" or find a place where I'm missing information. Email: <elsa@hailmog.org> Thanks! --Elsa 11:40, 16 August 2012 (PDT)

Post Event Thanks

It's the nice thing to do to send a thank you note to the people who showed up and those who helped (and they're often the same people). And when you send a nice note out, a lot of the time, you'll get nice notes back. And that's nice, lol.

I always have a problem with wanting to thank everyone personally, and then getting mostly through the letter and realizing that I didn't see who did Thing X, and then scrapping the whole thing because I don't want to forget anyone. So, here's a template.

Points to Include:

• Semiformal Greeting including when the event happened and what it was (name of event including number)
• Thanks to Visitors from far away, especially
• Thanks to Merchants (if you had any)
• Thanks for help with this year's "catastrophe"
• Activity turnouts
• Competition winners (include play-by-play and/or honorable mention if possible)
• Include Insegnante here, or separately - just don't forget them!
• Don't forget to say nice things about Feast!
• Home-group people who received awards and did notable awesome things
• Say nice things about the Site!
• Ask for pictures to be posted somewhere
• Sign off with something optimistic
