>area.  I try to include many diverse groups so as to peak a variety of 
>people's interests.

>Let me also mention that next year, a review of the Neighbourhood Tent’s

>  Therefore, admittance to the tent this year does not guarantee a 
>continued spot next year (as it never has, but just to make sure you’re 
>aware for next year, and no one is disappointed).
>
>I appreciate your application and the work you took to get it in on time 
>(even if I am not as good at following my deadlines!), I am happy to be 
>able to offer Fair Vote Canada a space in the Hillside Neighbourhood Tent 
>for this year's festival (July 27th – 29th, 2007).
>
>The tent is “open” from 10 – 6 (don’t quote me just yet on these times- 
>I’ll have to run a double-check on what we decided last year) on both the 
>Saturday and Sunday of the festival.  This means that if you require a 
>vehicle to transport your display, it must be off the island before 10 a.m. 
>and cannot return to pick up your display until after 11 (again, I have to 
>check these times).
>
>By being a part of the tent, your organization is given a 2.5’ x 6’ table 
>and two chairs.  What you chose to do with your allotted space is pretty 
>much up to you, with only a few guidelines.
>
>à  The Neighbourhood Tent is a place for community groups to set up a 
>display, hand out some leaflets, and let the public know what they’re all 
>about.  This is not a vending tent, and as such, we ask that you refrain 
>from selling any goods.  If you do have materials for sale, you are welcome 
>to inform patrons as to where they can purchase said materials, offsite or 
>after the festival.  This does not include any memberships you may have, or 
>donations you may be asking for.
>
>à  We supply two chairs for each of the two volunteers you are allowed to 
>bring.  We ask that your display be accompanied at all times by one of your 
>volunteers.  Your volunteers are welcome to stay in shifts to allow each 
>other to get food, catch a show or peruse the many craft vendors.
>
>What I now need from you are the names of the two volunteers you will be 
>sending, if you will be needing a vehicle to transport your display (I 
>stress NEED- if you can possibly do without, please try to, as we try to 
>keep vehicles off the island when at all possible), and any special needs 
>you may have (i.e. electricity to run a slideshow, etc.).  If you cannot 
>find two volunteers who are able to commit an entire weekend, you are 
>welcome to split up the days.  This means you can send two volunteers on 
>Saturday, and two different (or one different) volunteers on Sunday.
>
>Your volunteers will be given weekend (or day) passes.  These passes expire 
>at 11:00 both nights.  Please advise your volunteers that they are on the 
>island with “patron” (paying ticket holder) status, and as such, are not 
>granted the liberties that festival volunteers are (such as camping, or 
>backstage/hospitality zone access).

>Thanks again,
