This is a resource for scheduling large groups. Liane is the primary organizer of large tours. Inreach is her backup. Have the person requesting the tour send an email to info@freegeek.org:
- Date & time requested?
- Contact info: name/phone number/email
- Number on tour?
- Special accommodations?
- Age? (if school tour)
- Focused tour? (techy, political, etc.)
- Volunteering as a group afterward? (direct toward Liane)
- FG Staff contact: your name here (it's okay, Inreach can reassign)
Then, Inreach or lead planner fills out the rest:
- Assigned tour guides: who agrees to do it
- Confirmed? y/n
- Contact notified of confirmation/denial? y/n, date

Large tour concerns
- Dismantling floppies, other tasks for splitting large tour groups up
- Block out recycling table in schedule & let recycling know (need safety goggles and gloves for all)
- Do we have staff,intern, volunteer with one group recycling while the other group is on the tour?
- Should the adults/contacts take tour first to answer any questions the kids may have?
