Chewy can be there I just need an address, and what time we need to be there.

That's great news!  The starting time for the trooping is 11:00 AM, though the time is flexible based on travel time...we plan on having the event going until about 4:00 PM, so whatever works best.  (FYI: Both the store's event signage and the Library's promotion flyers state the 11:00 AM start time.)

As for location, here's Google Maps...

and here's the Store Locator at BN.com.

Let me know if you need any add'l information.  Thanks so much for doing this!

Cheers,
Andrew

Slightly off-topic: In case there are any fans of the series, Karen Traviss' Revelation is available and on our bookshelves at the Barnes & Noble Eugene location.

Also: I met briefly with one of the board members this morning -- we're in a small holding pattern as we near the end of February, but once March hits, the Library will begin promoting in full "Force" (I had to throw that in), especially once we receive the posters.

Cheers,
Andrew

Mark your calender March 22nd and Make this Event a Major Success Troopers.. Roster up..Peace, Allan

Bump... adjusted Roster...Thanks

The roster looks great -- thanks for rallying such a strong response!  We're all really looking forward to the day!

We received the posters and they're going up in the bookstore.  I'll also have a couple extra to post elsewhere, such as at the Volunteer Library and other places that make sense.  I'll also be sending out a mass e-mail at the end of this week to my list, which includes about 1,000 educators in the area.  I'll be sure to include the PDF of the poster I originally posted on the board, or something very similar.

I sent out a media release mid-February that had a complete event listing for March.  Both I and the Volunteer Library will be sending out another release next week, and as we near the date, I'll be sure to contact the local television stations.  The Volunteer Library also submitted some copy for the River Road Park District newsletter that should go out to River Road residents very soon.

We have two rooms that can be for CCG's prep and staging use on Mar 22.  Our breakroom can accommodate a lot of folks, but depending on the size of the tubs, we may overflow into our warehouse, which is huge.  Don't worry about the space.

Also: I'd like to pick up a 4-foot party sub for the Garrison to munch on as a small "thank you" -- are there any dietary restrictions amongst your roster?

As for directions to our store, here's the text version:

From I-5: Take Exit #195 and go west on Beltline Hwy, then south on Delta Hwy (towards Valley River Center Mall).  We're at 1163 Valley River Drive -- across the street from the mall -- in the same "lot" as ToysRUs, Ross, and PetCo.

And here are two URLs folks can input their addresses for specific directions:

Please let me know if anyone has any questions -- I'll be in touch soon, and I'm meeting with Allan in the coming weeks to go over details/logistics.

Cheers,
Andrew
