Please read.....OK. Last night Dirty Dave and yours truly got to do chair duty w/Shelton - the sometimes ornery head of maintainence at St. Lawrence. Whether or not we, or any members of our band moved the chairs against the wall ( I don't think we did, and if so I have no earthly idea why or who did it) from now on, please, whoever is first in the cafeteria take a mental inventory of how it was when we got there. That's how we'll leave it after we practice. I know sometimes they aren't very accomodating to us, and we have to eat a lot of junk at times as well as getting bounced around, but it's light years ahead of practicing in a mosquito ridden, dark parking parking lot on the outskirts of Tarpon Springs. Keep in mind that I'll be building us a practice hall in the future, and this type of thing will be written in our history as "Growing Pains  ."

We definitely need to be gracious tenants team!
On that note it wouldn't hurt for some of you to help with the tables and chairs once in a while. It's always the same few that get stuck having to do the setup/takedown.
If you can carry a set of pipes or a drum you can certainly move a chair!

It was me!!. Since I get there early I move the chairs and tables to make space when we play the pipes and drums. I did my part to help the band get set up. I'm not sticking around to make sure things get put back. Those band members still there can do their duty too and pitch in as well and help set up room as it was found instead of waltzing out the door like it is someone elses problem. What's new!!!!!!, this happens all the time the games when it comes to setting up and taking down the tents!!!! 
By the way I told Dave prior to me leaving to tell those remaining to make sure the tables and chairs were put back into the same position as I found them.

'Tis true, Bob (not Bobby) did impress upon me about the tables, etc. But I guess it was my fault that I didn't understand that the chairs went with them, too. I did pass on the enquiry to Gino, who didn't know what the original configuration looked like, either. The chairs looked so neatly stacked that they seemed to have been meant to be that way. The custodian guy was nice, but I guess he's not used to actually ordering folk around- and we're not so good at taking the hint, sometimes.
So, no harm, no foul, for this round.
We don't want to do anything that Gino might have to confess to Msgr. Higgins about...that's Amiee's job.
Now, if the NPR folks want us to clean up after horse poop on the parade route...forget it. LOL.
