Celebrity Waiters NEEDED for our WCR TEXAS/TREPAC event- This event takes place during our February meetings in Austin.  Date is Friday, 2-11-11, 7pm following Committee Day meetings.  We have 13 participants as Celebrity Waiters so far and need total of 25.  Please consider this FUN opportunity.  Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase TREPAC fun $ to spend at the event that night, purchasing items from waiters, or a photo with a waiter, etc.  This TREPAC fun $ is credited toward their own individual investment with their association.  Circus is the theme and as a waiter, you may dress as any side show, NO PERFORMING on stage by waiters, just raising $ for TREPAC, by selling trinkets, cookies, etc to those present at the event (attendance is usually around 200).  TheWaiters will be introduced, with no requirement at all for doing any type of performance!.  W & M chair John Buchanan has performances already in place.  Super fun event, with little effort to participate!  Those seated at your table will help you raise $ for TREPAC.  There will be prizes for most $ collected, best costume, etc…  See attached flyer and contact John Buchanan for more info.  Please share with members of your chapter AND local board, and encourage participation in this event.  We need your help!!!
