IF you are supporting the club by planning a special event (club party, publicity event, special award ceremony, club contest, etc._) then here are some tips that might help you.

• The club has a special Yahoo Group email list (NVTMEvents) that you can use to stay in contact with any other members who are helping you. Contact the Technology VP (or the President if none has been appointed) and ask them to invite those members you desire.
• When looking for a venue, you can choose not only from the houses of the other members, but also a number of city/county/state parks, many of which have picnic areas with running water, bathrooms, and fire pits.
• The club may often agree to cover the cost of a main dish (say a ham or turkey) and then the members can bring some "pot luck" foods. 
• Check with members to see if anyone has put on a TM event in the past and still has left over paper products (forks, plates, etc.)
• When the event is done, please write up a short email about the event, where it was, things that worked (or didn't work), etc. and send it to the club Secretary so they can add it to the minutes list.  This way, the next person to put on an event can review yours for ideas.
