[Robotgroup] Let the cat-herding begin!

[Kym Graner]

Thanks, Vern, for fixing my link - hopefully everyone who needs a 
parking permit can one now.

As for volunteers to work the event, we could still use a few, 
especially in the 5:30p - 12:00a timeframe. Let me know if you can help 
out. You can call my cell (797-5196) or email or post to the list or 
send word with a friend....whatever works best for you. During the open 
time slots, there wouldn't even be heavy lifting; just operation of the 
RoboSpinArt machines.

Thanks to everyone who has helped thus far and who has committed to be 
at FirstNight. We couldn't do it without you all!

:)
