Geeks 2008 and United Way Update

Greetings and Salutations! My apologies for being MIA (Missing in Action) since April, but life seems to have a funny way of interrupting oneself... The team has begun gearing up for the 2008 edition of Geeks on Ice which promises to be bigger and better then previous years.

I am please to announce that the United Way is continuing their partnership with our group and are keen to add more magic to our unique event. While 2007 was a tremendous success with over $4000.00 raised to help local non-profit agencies with their technology requirements, several points need to be addressed for 2008.

In response to our participant survey, I have began to focus on the following:

1) Level of Competitiveness
2) Registration Costs
3) Communications and PR
4) Stress the Key Goals of the Event
5) Deal with Facility Issues
6) Improve Sponsorship

I will keep posting updates as I make progress and would love to receive input and suggestions on any of the topics highlighted above.

Cheers,

Trevor Macausland
