I'm thinking..... I'm thinking..... It's going to take some time to assemble but I definitely have my own lists.

I can't wait to read others as well!

Everyone is gearing up for lots of activities and events. I thought it might be fun to brainstorm some tips and "if onlys". Pet peeves (as an attendee) would be good also. I'll list a few to get started.


Tip: If people have to fill out forms, provide pens and clipboards or an ACCESSIBLE writing surface.

Peeve: Crowded situations where all the signage is taped on the tables at waist level. But you can't SEE the tables because that's where the people are gathered/standing in lines.

:cool: Tip: Put your signage HIGH, on the wall behind the tables or use helium balloons as signs.

Tip: Voice of experience here... when setting up that afternoon for an evening event at school notice if that corner/hallway/area relies on skylights and windows for light. (It's so productive to have silent auction sheets in an area where it's too dark to read once the sun sets...)

:confused: Peeve: School or PTO forms that nicely detail all the information embedded in the form I HAVE TO SEND BACK IN. Please - divide it up so I can tear off the form part and keep the info part!
