Hey guys,

Here are the people who I have recorded as volunteers. If you have
volunteered and I don't mention you, please let me know.

Also, we could use 2-3 more liaisons. The more who volunteer, the less
work there is to go around. If you'll be around fairly regularly through
June 21, please let me know.



LIAISONS

The following people have signed up to be liaisons.

--- Beverly
--- Candice
--- Cathleen
--- elliska
--- Inkling
--- Nancy Brooke

This is a few less liaisons than we had in previous years, so if you are
available during the nomination season and are interested in being a
liaison, please let me know so we can talk about what you'd be doing.
I'm glad to talk to you about any concerns you have, if you're reluctant
but think you might want to help out in this way.

I had hoped not to be a liaison (I want to focus on giving all the
nominations a final check-over, and doing other admin-type things), but
I may also step in as liaison if things get too busy.



WELCOME MANAGER

--- Radbooks



RATINGS PANEL

The main ratings panel will be:

--- Oshun
--- Sulriel
--- Raksha

Annmarwalk will serve as an alternate if needed.



PROMOTERS

I have the following people down as promoters for the listed group. If
you would like to promote the MEFAs at a group not listed, now's the
time to let me know! I will send you announcements that you can make at
your group.

Hi Marta,

You forgot to mention BANNERS.

Marta, I can bring it up on our groups and see if anyone is
interested in being a liaison - is that ok?

Hi Cathleen,

Yeah, that would be great - ask away.

Hi Fiondil,

You're right, I should have mentioned them. I guess since I have been
sending banner artists your way and keeping track of other volunteers
myself, I didn't think to mention them. Has anyone other than Baranduin
actually committed to making banners? If you'd like, I could make
another email listing who had volunteered, and asking for more banner
makers.

I had planned on mentioning it in an announcement once we were into
nominations (I just want to focus on actually getting the awards started
right now), and again when we announce what categories and subcategories
will be available, and again *again* a few weeks before the end of voting.

Hi Dreamflower,

Do you mean you'd like to be a liaison? That sounds great. Thanks!

Yes! I should have specified! Sorry about that!

Hi Marta,

So far the only two people who have said they can do it are Baranduin and
Nautika. Rhapsody said RL will prevent her from helping initially although
maybe later in the summer she can do something and NiRi has yet to respond.
I haven't seen her online lately anyway and I know she's been busy with
moving into her new house and all. It would be nice if we can get a few more
people involved. I just don't know anyone I can contact directly and ask.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

I'd like to help - if you need a liaison - I think I could manage that

BUT only for Boromir stories.......

JUST TEASING!!!!

Blessings,

Hi Arthur,

Hmm, I really don't have much connection with artists because I'm not
one. Does anyone reading this know where artists hang out? If so, would
you be willing to ask if any would like to create some MEFA banners?

Hi Agape,

*grins* Well, I can't promise Boromir stories, or even Gondor stories -
you'd get authors assigned at random like everyone else (no special
treatment here! :-D)

But in all seriousness, I'd love to have you as a liaison. I'll mark you
down and be in touch in a few days.

I have several friends within the Tolkien fandom who are excellent artists.
I'd be happy to pass the message along!

Is there a particular link that I could send them where they could find out
the information that they need? (Sorry, I'm an utter n00b where the banners
are concerned ...) And, Fiondil, are you okay with me giving out your
contact information?

Thanks,

Dawn

Hiya Dawn,

Excellent, thanks for passing it along.

If the 2008 FAQs were up I would have you point people to them for basic
information about MEFA banner-making. You can still direct them to the
2007 FAQs (http://mefawards.net/MEFA2007/index.php?page=FAQbanners),
because I don't think this particular FAQ will be chaning much for the
2008 awards, but do let people know that this is last year's FAQs.

If you get volunteers before Fiondil has a chance to reply (or if he'd
rather not share his email), send them to mefasupport-at-gmail-dot-com
and I'll talk to them.

Hi Lily,

I'd love your help. The more liaisons we have, the less work there is
for any one, so I say the more the merrier.

Can you join the group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MEFAStaff? (I can
send you an invite if you prefer.) That's where we handle the
behind-the-scenes stuff, and I've been posting a series of emails
educating liaisons about what they'll need to know to do their jobs.
I've posted two emails today that you should read to get caught up, and
will continue to make them over the next few days to get the new
liaisons up to speed.

Thanks,

Marta

Just joining now!
