Question in advance of our next call. This post is about the build, team and support system only Options

I was sitting here thinking about the launch of the fund raiser and the call out for 914 guys and gals to assist in the final build of Buttercup.

I'm not sure if we have discussed this yet, but I was thinking we may need more than just mechanics.

There may be the need for food and beverage people. People have to eat. I we had someong in charge of meals and snacks we could just keep working. We may have someone with skills in this area will to step up.

There may be the need for someone that has a parts contact to be available to ship parts overnight if we discover something we need to finish. This could truely become a world event with everyone involved either as a on-site participate or a support person in another part of the country.

We will need someone that has overnight shipping skills.

Anything else?

I agree we need bathrooms and good heat. I think we had discussed a pot-o-potty if need be.

My thought is, if we can stay at the body shop we may be better off. If we need to blast an paint a small part or need air and or tools we would be better to stay there. I will bring a tool set with me and some extra wrenches and stuff so we have extra tools for extra hands.

I would like to see some of the 914 people help with cooking and take some of the heat off Mary doing this by herself. When we put out the word and start the fund raiser this should be part of our volunteer request.

My recent thoughts about getting volunteers to Kansas in February will be a challange. So keep in mind if there is anyone within driving distance say 500 miles or so I was thinking we could send a pm to that person during the call out.

We shall see how this goes.

Also, when do you think we should have the event start? I was thinking we may need some early arrivals to organize the work space and group parts. This may help with finding and heading off and part shortages.
