PSU: Mobilization Bravo

[Triggar]

Right, I never said that. I just said that the people who did come had a lot of balls, and that I appreciate it.

Also, the 40 people cap isn't just for the organizational aspect. During this past weekend, we had to account for each person on the buses and at the meals. I had to personally put together the gift boxes and run the giveaways. 40+ people would be a non-personal event that I think would be out of hand, volunteers or not.

One last thing, this isn't up for debate. 40 people is the cap. If you want to get together with 50 of your outfit buddies, go ahead, but I'm not running it.

The 40-person cap is in stone. OK
Respectfully, again, you state that you personally had to put things together. Many of us are here and willing to help.

Am I getting this all wrong? Is this really an event intended for primarily PSU staff and their friends? If so, I am truly sorry...it did sound like so much fun.

The event isn't primarily for PSU, but the reason I offered to plan it was so that I could meet PSU people. This past event, we had OF people and people from different outfits come, and it was great.

I'm just making it clear that even with tons of volunteers, I still have to plan and oversee everything, and at the event, I'm the one who has to make sure everything goes smoothly, and I cannot physically do that if the group was any larger than 40 people. Maybe after I graduate, if I decide to scrap aviation altogether and get a job as a professional event coordinator, I'll plan a 200 person Mobilization. But for now, I have to keep myself within the limits of my time constraints and ability.

I still like the idea of it... I mean... I already said I would be registering ASAP. And I like the idea of paying when you register... it leaves out the uncertanty factor (and an extra deadline I don't have to remember).

I now fully understand the situation.

My offer of help and projection systems, etc. stands if I'm fortunate enough to get a spot for the event.
