[Cross posted to both APO-L and APOSOC-L]
I've relented and will be doing name tags again, although it's a
little bit later than two years ago.
It's APO[SOC]-L name tag time again.
For those of you who went to Nationals in Boston and Dallas/Fort
Worth , you know what I'm talking about; those who weren't there,
I'll explain.
For a long while, APO-L subscribers penned in APO-L on their name
tags to identify themselves as being on APO-L. At the 92 Nationals in
Boston, for anyone who requested, I made them a hot-pink APO-L
name tag. The name tag was very visible, and tastefully done. There
was no APOSOC-L name tag at that time, just because. For the 94
Nationals in Dallas Forth Worth, I made name tags again, except that
there was an APOSOC-L option, and I forgot to change the year on the
name tag so it showed up as DFW 92; it's soon to be a collectors'
item.
For this Nationals, I'll be doing the name tags again belatedly after
originally deciding that I didn't have enought time to devote to name
tags; much of the Phoenix 96 name tags will be similar to the Boston
92 and DFW 92/94 name tags, because I'm recycling much of the same
name tag generating PostScript code
A bad ascii text representation of the Phoenix 96 tags looks like this:
+--------------------------------+ -
| # | ^
| # A P O - L x| |
| # A P O S O C - L 9 n i6 | |
| # o e | |
| # p h | |
| # | |
| # aphio+@andrew.cmu.edu | 2.25"
| # | |
| # | |
| # kappa | |
| # carnegie mellon | |
| # L A R R Y L O B S T E R | |
| # mascot | v
+--------------------------------+ -
|<-------------3.5"------------->|
I've tried to represent the relative size of the text on the tag by
using a mixture of lower cases and whitespaces; the actual name tag
will be correctly type cased. The word Phoenix is rotated at a 15
degree angle, and the # represent the words "Alphi Phi Omega National
Convention" rotated 90 degrees and with a gray background. I will not
entertain requests for redesign of the name tags because I generate
these name tags by hacking PostScript code, and it is neither a fun
nor fast task.
In contrast to Boston 92, and with the same policies as DFW 94, I
will NOT be supplying the little plastic name tag holders.
Sorry. If anyone else wants to coordinate a bulk purchase of name tag
holders and sell/donate at DFW, feel free to do so. On my end, I will
provide the actual name tags on cardstock paper, and trimmed to size.
I provide name tag, you provide holder for name tag; ensure that you
get a CORRECTLY SIZED name tag holder.
The name tags will be distributed at Phoenix. Come look for me; those
of you who have gotten name tags from me before should know what I
look like. Otherwise, there are a few options; I decide when I get to
Phoenix which route I'll take:
o I'll leave a notice on the board which room I'm in; come to my
room and the name tags will either be on my door for you to
take.
o I'll leave a notice on the board which room I'm in; come to my
room and there'll be a signup sheet for you to write down your
name and room, and I'll deliver to your room.
o Look for me at Turtle ceremonies.
o Look for me on Saturday if I manage to organize a hash outing
with the Phoenix Hash House Harriers.
Here's the meat: I need information from you to make the name tags.
SEND INFORMATION TO BE DIRECTLY; I may not pick it up off APO-L or
APOSOC-L since I regularly skip over posts if I get too busy at work.
THE SUBJECT OF THE EMAIL MESSAGE MUST CONTAIN:
"*** NAME TAG INFO ***"
I get close to 150 to 200 messages per day, and a lot of times I will
delete messages without reading them.
My email address appears in my sig below. And please don't quote my
entire message back to me, all I want is the portion at the bottom
after the "cut here" line.
The information I want:
Subscribe to APO-L? If you answer in the affirmative, the words
APO-L will appear in the top left corner
of the name tag. Answer Yes, No, Y, or N.
Blank answer assumed to be N.
Subscribe to APOSOC-L? If you answer in the affirmative, the
words APOSOC-L will appear also.
Email address This is apparent; it will appear under
the APO[SOC]-L
Name You name as it will appear in the center
of the name tag.
Officer/Staff/Title If you are a chapter officer, part of
staff, or have a title of some sort (sgt
at arms, parlimentarian, etc) this will
appear under your name.
Chapter With which chapter are you affiliated. I
can only handle ONE chapter per person.
People with multiple affiliations
(transfers, initiated at one chapter and
is now advisor at another chapter, etc)
will have to decide on a single chapter.
The chapter name will appear above the
school name.
School The name of the school to which your chapter
belongs. The school name appears above
your name.
Sometimes during the week of December 16, I will crosspost the list
of names and information to APO-L and APOSOC-L. That's a chance for
people to proof read their names and make sure that I've got their
information entered correctly. The following weekend, the list and I
go to Kinko's.
Thanks for reading this long post.
