The time has come, with just a little over a week to go until DrupalCampNH 2011!!!
That being said, it's time for me to delegate, which some of you have pointed out that I've not been doing so well at.... :)
DrupalCampNH is definitely a reality, everything short of badges are at the printer, and badges will be handed off Monday morning, meaning anyone registering after Monday will get a blank badge and have to write in their name.
Our Sponsors have done an AMAZING job of stepping up, and making this camp a reality!!
If you have time, take a moment to fashion a tweet for our Platinum Sponsors AND our Gold Sponsors. Here are a couple samples:

Volunteer Help Needed for the day of event
Now on to the dirty stuff... after our meetup last night, we've concluded that the following positions will need volunteers on the day of event:
Room Support / "Runners"
Each room (1 Auditorium; 4 Classrooms) will need 1 person in the room for each session that can be the support person to potentially help speaker(s) get setup, and if any issues arise, find myself or another appropriate volunteer to solve the problem.
Registration
We will need 1-2 people at the registration desk all morning. 4 people there during the 8am-9am registration time before the opening plenary. In the afternoon, 1 person in the lobby keeping an eye on things should be more than sufficient.
General Cleanup
There should be someone around (SNHU staff) on cleanup all day, but we are not paying them to clean up after our disasters, so it will be great that we ALL use our best manners, make our mother's proud, and keep things tidy in the Lobby, Auditorium and classrooms, and throughout the hallways. EVERYONE should be a part of this initiative, and if you see an empty drink, wrapper, or a general mess, please help out by keeping the place clean!!!
Photography
We do not hav a specific photographer dedicated to the event, but I know a couple of people are planning to bring nice cameras, and I'll be running around all day with my new iPhone 4s camera snapping shots where I can. The more photos we can get of the event the better. In classrooms during sessions, of our fabulous speakers, attendees and just anything you can will be greatly helpful. My goal is to setup an image rotation on the homepage of the site after the camp is over showing what a great time we all had!!!
How to Volunteer
If you would like to volunteer (even if only for an hour during one session) Please let me know by using my contact form, and let me know...
Volunteers should expect (when possible) to arrive at the venue at or shortly after 7a.m. on Saturday, October 29th to help with setup, get a plan together, and FREE HUGS!! ;)
When contacting me (via the contact form) please send me your full name and mobile number (assuming the number I'd receive calls from on the day of event) so that it's in my address book, and I actually answer calls/know who's texting/etc.!!!
Summary
It's almost time... I'm going to hold off on my nervous breakdown until after the camp is over, and we're going to pull this off, making it one of the most memorable camps for novice and expert Drupalistas alike. Also, the address is up on the DrupalCampNH site on the venue and directions pages.
I look forward to seeing you all there!!!
