Geek Swap
What and When:
On Saturday, August 2nd, 2003, LUGOD will be holding its
first-ever "Geek Swap" fundraiser swap meet!

(We're in the process of purchasing a video projector for our meetings,
and will completely drain our bank account in the process.)

closets, and see what kind of neat and bizarre hardware other people have

How to Attend - As a Buyer
Just show up and browse (and, hopefully, buy)! With regards to fundraising
for LUGOD, at this point, we're leaving it up to the sellers.
LUGOD is simply organizing; volunteers are offering space and supplies to
run the show; sellers sell things, and then donate what they want to us.
How to Attend - As a Seller
Contact Bill Kendrick.
Please give him the following information:
- What hours you can attend
- What items you are bringing
- How much (percentage) of your sales you're interested in donating to LUGOD
- Were you planning on staying the whole time? Or only coming to drop off
in the morning, and pick up any leftovers in the afternoon?
