Reprinted from April 2013 GeocacheAlaska! Newsletter Event Support by Roberta Bromlow/Polgera Greetings event coordinators! I was talking to some of our Board members and it seems that we need a little follow-up for event support from GeocacheAlaska! This organization belongs to all of you whether you are a Sourdough member or a Cheechako member. The board is here to support your efforts in supporting the game and the awareness of geocaching. That said, how can we help? There is little criterion for getting support. A couple of simple steps and we are more than happy to support your efforts. The board is working on Event Bling budgets, but until those are complete we are still trying to help. One of the more important areas that we need to cover is that the event must support the geocaching community and the reported mission of GeocacheAlaska! of educating and encouraging geocaching as a healthy, fun, family activity. The GeocacheAlaska! purposes may be found in Article II of the By-Laws at www.geocachealaska.org/documents/geocachealaskabylaws.pdf. The other is that the event page needs to support GeocacheAlaska! by placing the organization's logo on the event page, this can be done by snagging a logo from our web site, at geocachealaska.org/gakartwork.htm and placing it on your event page. To insert the artwork, edit your cache page, scroll down to the “Details” section, check the box next to “The descriptions below are in HTML,” copy the html code from under the logo you wish to use, and then paste the html into the “Long Description” box on your cache page. Scroll to the bottom of the edit page, check the two boxes acknowledging reading and understanding the guidelines and terms of use, and click “Submit Changes.” Need help with this? Many of you know Ladybug Kids and SSO JOAT as avid cachers but they are also html wizards and Board members that can help. It is best if Event Forms are submitted at least 30 days prior to your planned event. This gives the Board time make sure you have the proper support. The link to the Event Form that needs to be submitted can be found at geocachealaska.org/documents/EventForm.pdf. If you have any questions please feel free to correspond with any board member. Board member contact information can be found in the forums www.geocachealaska.org/contacts.htm. Happy Caching!
