and when you are not busy with official Militia duty-Cascadia Con wants you to volunteer.  It's easy just e-mail Volunteers

You're Invited to a Party!

   The CascadiaCon Stuffing Party will be held Sunday, Aug 28 at the SeaTac Hilton Hotel at 1 p.m. The exact room location will be on the daily meeting boards at the hotel entrances. Stuffing should be over by 4:00 PM at the latest.

   Please join us for fun and games as we take pieces of paper, magazines, buttons and coupons and marry them together to form the packets that everybody receives at Registration. The more people we have, the faster it will go. Be the first in your neighborhood to see what sort of goodies everyone will receive. Cop a button or two advertising the next big movie. We might even have the latest programming grids on the wall for your perusal.

   Working at the stuffing party counts towards volunteer hours worked at the con.

Please note: People attending the Stuffing Party will have to pay for their own parking.

   If you or your organization has fliers or other material that you wish to include in the packets, you may either arrange to get them to the CascadiaCon Transportation Department by Tuesday, Aug 23, or bring them to the hotel yourself by noon on Aug 28. That is one hour before the stuffing party begins.

If you wish to mail materials in, please send them to:

Eric Pawtowski

Lynnwood, WA 98036

Please remember that materials mailed in must *ARRIVE* by Aug 23. If the shipment is very large (more than 200lbs) then the Transportation department must be informed ahead of time of what it is, who is sending it, the estimated arrival date, the shipping company, and the shipping company tracking number, once it is shipped.

   If you wish to hand-deliver materials before the stuffing party, please contact the NWC Transportation Dept. at:

transportation@cascadiacon.org

and make arrangements. The Transportation Dept. would appreciate advanced notification of any materials that are brought to the stuffing party or mailed in advance, but that is not a requirement.

NOTE: CascadiaCon reserves the right to reject any material deemed unsuitable or inappropriate. Any materials placed in the registration packets must be appropriate and suitable for a mixed audience of SF fen, including those under 18. CascadiaCon does not sort the packets by age of recipient or any other demographic criteria. Non-SF&F related commercial or political materials may not be accepted. If you are at all concerned about your material, please submit a sample to the Con Chair for review in advance. Any materials not reviewed in advance will be reviewed by the Con Chair at the stuffing party and may be rejected at that time.

   Organizations that wish to include fliers or coupons are asked to help with the stuffing if feasible, but that is not a requirement.

   If you are bringing materials to the stuffing party yourself, please be on time (be there by noon). We plan to stuff ~3500 packets, so plan accordingly. Excess materials will be placed on the flier rack at the start of the con.
