Nate is going to love his cakes when he sees them tonight!
Well if it is buttercream, then they should have used the chocolate covered bacon.
Good Luck! You're a brave soul. I've served on several boards - 3 non-profit human service organizations, chamber of commerce, convention and vistors bureau, Cub Scout pack committee, etc., and I work directly for a board, but no way in H-E-double-hockey-sticks will I go near any of these three: youth sports, home owners associations, or PTA/school boards.
I agree with you though - it's much better to jump in and try to change things than it is to complain. This is how DH and I ended up sharing the Committee Chair job for our highly disfuntional Cub Scout pack next year.
Pamela is also working on the navigator.
I wasn't planning to go so far as to include individual names. That's a lot of work piled onto a lot of work + things change & someone would be inadvertantly left out & hate Pamela & I forever. If someone wants to take this on, more power to you & I'd be happy to attach it to the file, but it's more than I can handle. Since the navigator will be available to print more than 2 weeks before we cruise, I would suggest you print it early and highlight the things you are interested in or signed up for, like many of us do with the
DCL Navigators.
I'm planning to design 2 navigators:
1. A big, 8.5x11, many pages Navigator including:
Onboard activities with times, places, contact person & cabin ## door to check for updates once we board. Arranged by date.
Pirate Excursions - things like Zip-line & Aruba snorkeling. Basically non-DCL excursions that were organized on the thread.
Fish Extender - participants with cabin numbers
2. I am also planning to do a mini-navigator that you can fold up and put in a backpack, camera bag etc. This will only have the activity names, times & locations arranged by date. I'm not sure what the format will be until I have all the information - I'm going for small, so bring your reading glasses.
3. Drink of the Day Passport - I'm designing a 4x6 for each day to note the Drink of the Day, where you had it, who you were with, and your bartender. I wanted to make a booklet, but the some-assembly-required part is hangin' me up since everyone who wants one will have to print it themselves. If you print it you can use these for scrapbooking or put them in a photo album. I plan to buy a cheap 4x6 photo album and and stick the passport page in one pocket and my photo w/ friends & bartender in the other pocket when I get home.
4. Kid's Cruise Journal...lots and lots of people are working on pages and sending their ideas. I will design the pages so there is some uniformity.
All will be available in .pdf form for you to print.
