Thoughts for next year: -survey success by tying to door prize-45 responses -give bags to participants to put items into from organizations -only 4 people attended event from the 198 postcard mailings to new neighbors in 98136 -table groupings, including tables placed on stage, seemed to allow for good flow of movement -excellent use of volunteers to assist with check-in -enhance name tags with color/logo/larger print -good decision to offer wine/beer -await info received from vendor survey
