<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>My sincerest thanks to the volunteers who helped with the unpacking
and sorting of the second round entries for the national competition. I couldn’t
have been more impressed with not only the turn out (crew of 16 each night) but
the quality and efficiency of the job you did. You exceeded every expectation and
I will put the job you did up against any other second round cellaring. You unpacked
670 entries in 135 minutes. That is so far out there that any other cellar
master would not believe it. And not one broken bottle. We’re good. Very
good. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have to give a special thanks to my assistant cellar
master Randy Griggs. I had a plan, gave it to him, and he executed it so well
that it appeared flawless even though there were a few surprises. I’d
also like to thank all of you who saw better ways to do things and took the
initiative to implement them on the fly. It was a pleasure working with you
all. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Now we enter phase two of the conference cellaring. The jobs
are more varied and the hours are longer. No other club will have the responsibility
that we have. It’s yet another time to show that DOZE is a club to be
counted on to deliver. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>So here we go. I’ve attached a list of cellaring activities
for each day of the conference. Many of the activities happen simultaneously. It
would be typical for one crew to be delivering beer to the hospitality suite while
at the same time another crew is delivering beer to a seminar.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The time blocks I’m listing are generally 4 to 5 hours.
I really don’t expect anyone to be working anything close to those hours.
There will be some good lengths of time between deliveries where you can grab
something to eat or check out a seminar. I’ll have a detailed schedule so
you’ll be able to see the next delivery or pickup. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Let me know if you can help. There are a few critical times
for the cellar. Thursday, being the first full day, is going to be the toughest
because it will all be new not to just the cellar but the other volunteers who
are doing the other functions as well. Throw in an 850 beer competition and the
DOZE hospitality suite shift at 4:30 and it’s a very busy day.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Things settle down a little Friday until it comes time for
Club Night. The cellar will have the huge task of getting 350 kegs of beer out
of the cellar and into the club’s booths in about 60 minutes. We’ll
also be delivering the ice at the same time. During the 4:30 to 8:30 shift I will
need all possible volunteers to help starting about 5:30 . The clubs themselves
will help us but we’ll be managing the inevitable confusion that will
come from moving all that beer while the clubs, including DOZE, will be setting
up their booths.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Thanks for all your help in advance. I hope I’ve done all
my homework. If that’s measured by the time you put in, then I’m
all set. Let me know where you think you can help. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
