There were jugs of water and cases of iced bottled water we purchased from CVS.

I ordered the pizzas. It wasn’t that big an expense and other volunteers chipped in. Was glad to do so after most of the snacks ran out. I should have doubled the delivery as many of the speakers and guests were pretty hungry by the end of the rally.

I do remember someone fainting. An older woman if my memory serves me. We brought her water and she got attention from a nurse and possibly the roaming Dr.

Yes, I think she passed out close to your station and was carried or helped walk inside your tent. I forgot about the Nurse. Think the Dr. arrived shortly after. Anyway, all she needed was rest and your water and she was fine. Thank you again for that and buying some food at the end. Very, very gracious of you and the others. You did your duties in an exemplary manner.

You and all the volunteers should be so proud of your accomplishments that day. To my knowledge, not one volunteer missed a beat.

THE only problem we had is when some kid showed up with a long knife on his side just outside the VIP tent. I was heading up the stairs to the stage when someone threw something at my back to get my attention. Turned around and saw the problem and motioned to security who quickly walked him away with no incident. I also had to 86 a couple guys selling their wares in the middle of the crowd. They left peacefully.

BTW, in case your curious how I/we managed the entire event, certain key people had headsets with mics provided by our security. Guess you Hospitality folks didn't have one. My bad. Geeze, all these memories coming back. Thank you.

Now time to concentrate on the elections.
