Tech News and oppurtunities

We're back! The team from the DR arrived safely at TPA around 10:15, and
Katie and I were home by 11:30. It is good to be home. I will be putting
together a long form video from the pics and footage soon.

But things didn't stop around here while I was gone. There are a few big
projects on the horizon.

Sanctuary Stage Reset - July 28 & 29

Jeff and Howard are resetting/rearranging the sanctuary stage on Monday,
July 28, from 3 p.m. - 6 p.m. If you are available during that time to help
move risers and equipment, it would be greatly appreciated. Help during the
Day on Tuesday, July 19, may be needed as well. Please e-mail if you can
help.

Chapel Equipment Installation - August 3 & 4

Jeff has also scheduled the following Monday, August 4, 3 p.m. - 6 p.m. for
installing the new sound and A/V gear in the chapel. I am also looking for
volunteers on Sunday August 3, from 1:30 p.m. - approx. 6 p.m. to help run
cable under the floor in the Chapel. We will run the snake through the
tunnel, and run some A/V cable under the stage for the projector and such.
Time permitting; we may begin to install equipment in the booth.

Sanctuary Lighting and Video System Reset - TBD - Tentative August 10

This project is still TBD, due to waiting on parts for the new switcher. But
it will be scheduled soon. We will be installing the new switcher, but while
we do that we will be re-arranging the positions and their locations. And
since some of the gear is trickling down to the chapel, work over there will
happen concurrently or simultaneously.

Please e-mail which projects you will be available for.

Thanks,

Stuart
