Friday, March 24th Adepticon, Year End and… HELP!

It’s that time of year…

Hey there friends, followers and fans of Games Plus.

Adepticon is in full swing and if you stop by, come take a look at the booth and say hi to the guys.
We have busy up to our eyeballs this week with post-auction, pre-Adepticon it’s-almost-too-many-things-at-once time of year. Sorry for the lack of updates. But we will see more news tomorrow. Promise.

On to more fun news
This year we turn 42 and we are looking to you, our community for a little help.

As we approach our birthday we need to do Year End Inventory. An actual count of the actual stuff in our actual store. Would you be willing to help us out?

We are hoping that a whole bunch of you all would be willing to spare a few hours to count, tally and record some totals.

When? Friday, March 31st. 10am… or earlier

For how long? As long as you can spare.

What’s in it for you?
First off, our gratitude.
Secondly, beverages.
Thirdly, pizza perhaps. Subs and or hot dogs maybe. A snack or two for sure as well as lunch and/or dinner for those helping out. Maybe even some of Dave’s amazing Rumaki.
Additionally, some store credit – we understand folks don’t work for free. Even some of the most exciting and rewarding work in the world by the most helpful people needs a better reward than just a snack, lunch, some Coke and a pat on the back. So there is a bit of that coming to helpers too.

And finally – the camaraderie of contributing to the community you’ve helped us build over these years. Heck, if we can get it done soon enough we may even be able to play a game or two that evening.

So please – let us know if you can help us out. Or surprise us and just show up. Either way, if we know you will be around… it’ll make it easier to plan for the refreshments
