I got it, and since I didn't respond, I got one from Jeremy.

I'd do it for 25 travel bug tags.

{edit} The best part: Hotmail dropped Jeremy's e-mail in my bulk mail box. {/edit}

But I can't get away from work.

Good thing I don't have any caches over in Minneapolis. Now if they were holding it in St Paul...

I didn't get it either - must be based on your home coords or something.

I'm a little dissapointed that they didn't contact the MnGCA via a boardmember. . .we might have pitched in. . .

I agree...they don't know how the group funds work...could have been a fundraising event...

but since we can't make $$ didn't matter...but they didn't know..or check

Adam made an account here before the e-mails were sent out:

http://www.mngca.org/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=211

I'd say he knows about the MNGCA.

But, I think it's best that the MNGCA isn't part of it.

If PlayTime was a non-profit, or as a for-profit they were interested in compensating us properly, I think the situation would be different.

If a few individuals want to volunteer their time and help them out, I think that's great, but I don't think MNGCA resources should be volunteered to a for-profit company without proper compensation.

I think this is a great opportunity to share some insights on geocaching with a willing group. Yep, $50 for the day isn't going to make anyone rich, but these corporate event companies are not making millions. My wife's former event company was hit hard after 9/11 and the company went from 15 full-time employees to 3. The first thing corporations cut is the entertainment budget when times are tight. To think Playtime Inc. is making a ton of money on this day long event is a stretch. They have a unique concept that might turn enough profit to cover basic expenses, but I doubt anyone with Playtime lives on Lake Washington next to Bill Gates and Jeremy Irish, Wink

When I talk to Adam, he said he was waiting for approval to post to the message board. He's aware of the group, but I never got the feeling he was wanting anything from MNGCA.

Kitch - Excellent work.

Joelcam - I agree with you. As I mentioned above - I think it's great if a few individuals are willing to participate and help out. I also think Adam (and anyone, really) should feel free to post in the forums.
