Barbara Jordon

Today we are dedicating this Blog to Barbara Jordon. She was a fellow Fleetian who was killed in a motorcycle accident two nights ago. Barbara was a bigger than life personality who loved to laugh and had a heart as big as Manhattan. She will be missed . The last time I say her was the one time I went home to pack for MGH and she gave me a giant, caring hug at Caleb's prayer circle. Rest in peace Barbara...we will never forget you. Love, mumsie

Loving out loud

For anyone with current information about Barbara Jordon - please e-mail me. Barb was part of the famous women's crew who worked at the Lighthouse Restaurant for years and has made a giant impression on me. I think everyone worked at the Lighthouse for Joe, Bobbie and Laura at one time or another but Barb is the one who stood out for me. Always "bustin" your chops and giving you the Barb grin the whole time. She is such a big part of Fleet. We are all praying for Barbara's family and Barb, you are in my thoughts for the day - all day. Please someone- update me.
So I admit it - I was walking to Spaulding this morning with a drizzle of rain on my head and a downpour in my heart and I was feeling really sorry for myself. I was having one of those one way dialogues which went something like this --" Caleb is getting stronger physically but he is showing increased signs of stress in the brain - seeing things, talking nonsense . Is he going to be a strong giant lump with no brain? What is going to happen to my family? Kai (a 3.9 grade average student) is seriously contemplating dropping out of school to be with Caleb. Max holds everything in and has such weight on his shoulders and already wrestles with his own demons - how will he fare with this ( and I'm not even there to walk him through this) . Jan and I are divorced for a reason and tensions are building - how will we traverse these choppy waters?
All of these questions pouring, pouring through my already saturated head.
To convince myself that all was well, I started grilling Caleb on words. He has difficulty projecting so we were practicing being loud! Water bottle I said. He followed with some jumbled word which brought me down even more. Then he looked at me and said it louder " agua bottle - that's Spanish for water - you know that!" There is a God in heaven!
The longevity of this is indeed getting to me and the fears which rise up and question me at all hours of the night cannot be answered yet ...and still I am hopeful. I believe in the power of love and I believe in Caleb.

I had to laugh out loud while reading the blog comment about the negativity coming from the Town Hall. ( which I feel will just dissipate if ignored). I am reminded of a story Jan loves to tell about his great uncles - another team of three Potter brothers- who got pissed off and burned down the Town Hall in Maine....Please don't let History repeat itself!

Caleb and I are loving out loud from Spaulding to you - wherever you be! Mumsie.

My Billy, I miss you!

Caleb, India, Cedar (~10 yrs ago) apologies for the clearly under age drinking.... (it's Fleet!)

Well, hello, India here. Sharyn- thank you for the introduction! I miss you, girl- I want to snuggle you right up.
Firstly- I want to say hello to you, Caleb. I know you can read this! I saw you reading that newspaper! I am a daily blogger that would personally like to see you included in this blog- no more third person! Billy, I'm so glad I saw you, even just for that one night at Judith's cookout on the 2nd of July- you looked suave and handsome as ever- Jenny by your side- such a hotty- and clearly smitten. You rescued me from my stupid idea of trying to shuck an oyster by myself. You said, 'Judith, you're gonna cut your hand wide open!' thanks for that. (for those of you who are unfamiliar with our wacky nicknames- even I get confused sometimes- Billy is a flexible one, basically meaning Fleetion, or from Wellfleet. Judith is specifically Chris Miner- who did a spectacular guest blog a while back- and me. Caleb named me and Chris 'Judith' for who knows what reason?! But it stuck... And 'Jim' is Cedar and our buddy Donny...) Now that that is cleared up- I just want to tell you personally, Caleb- you're amazing and I truly love you. You are a pure, kind, hilarious, gorgeous, and loving guy- the best kind! I can't wait to squeeze those cheeks and maybe even sneek a kiss -don't tell my husband or Jenny :)

Okay- that said- I grew up with Caleb in Fleet. One of my earliest memories is of Sharyn and Jan walking me up and down the hall trying to get me to sleep- toddler sleep-overs are tricky! I remember Sharyn was always the coolest, hottest mom at Wellfleet Elementary- I used to wish you were my mom! (sorry Mama) Caleb was always himself in school- laughing, pushing the rules on the playground- digging, climbing...etc...

In highschool- look out! We were so wild! Most of us billys were in the alternative program at Nauset High- SWS- I think it's called. We had so much fun- bonfires were our fortay- all through the winter, every weekend. It was around this time that Caleb and Cedar invented the term- 'Jag it up'! A phrase I brought with me to Durango (CO where I live) although no one ever knows what I'm talking about. My mental image of Caleb in highschool is always the same- Messy hair, gorgeous smile, a smokey/musty/fiery smell, and always that red and black checkered flannel shirt- he's wearing it in the pic!!!! I love you Billy.

I'd like to mention this summer- I have lived in Durango, CO for 8 years now and this summer was my first opportunity to have an extended stay on the Cape during the summer. My husband, our two boys (5 and 3)and myself were on the Cape for 6 weeks. We arrived July 1st, I got to see Caleb at Judith's on the 2nd, and then the terrible accident on the 4th. It was heartbreaking- the circles in front of the town hall that first week was an experience I shall never forget. I've never felt terrible grief simeltaneously with complete awe and inspiration. Who knew that in a world of suffering and atrocities, there is a little town, sticking out in the Atlantic, so full of truly good people?! I suppose we should have known that before, but your accident, Caleb, brought kindness and love out of the woodwork in Fleet. It was truly amazing to wittness Wellfleet blossom into a center for support and problem solving. The fundraising efforts were phenomenal- everyone participated- truly everyone. 'Caleb's Wicked Jag' at the Wicked Oyster was a huge success- I know you saw that video that Kai and Shaye put together- ask them to show you the 'boobies for Caleb' part- it wasn't included even in the R rated section- don't let Kai keep it for himself!!!

So, in closing- thank you Caleb for sacrificing yourself for the betterment of our community- Welfleet truly is a better place for it- a place that we should all be very proud to be from. Thank you for starting the Pirate- Yellowbeard trend- way better than Spiderman and Batman! My 5 year old is planning his pirate costume for halloween, and I would bet that there will be many more little pirates in Fleet on the 31st! Thank you for always being you. To me, you are Wellfleet- I love you forever.

nothing much

Thanks Jenny for putting the pictures up on Caleb...he has the best nurses! Nice blog as well.
We are now seemingly going in a forward, positive, progressing pace. Caleb has a routine which we stick to very closely. Up and ready in the morn when I walk in about 7:30 or quarter till 8, he then walks to the sink, sits by himself and washes, uses ear cleaners, applies shaving lotion and shaves, washes hair, dresses himself after brushing teeth and is up and smelling grand for breakfast. I love this part of our day the most. Aside from me watching over him, this is the most normal section of time that we share. After that he is whisked away by various therapist and the day flies by.
I noticed a change in Leb yesterday and feel his meds will have to be checked. He is hallucinating a bit..seeing a sweatshirt on the floor which is not there, telling me he needs to shut the door where there is no door to shut-- things like that. This manipulation of the brain which they do here is tricky and requires some experimenting. I have no fear that his Doc will get it right. He is extremely competent.
The few visitors who have arrived over the past week have been a highlight for Caleb..it is a reminder of home and of better days ahead. At seven tonight I have a Reiki master working on Caleb, he is drinking re-live and has an appetite that can rival King Kong's. So in general, I think we are in great shape.
Not much more to report right now - Aunt Carol was going to Blog but had difficulty with my password...so I am the fill-in for today. Tomorrow India is Blog-master. India is one of those young women you can look at and instantly think she will be full of herself because she is soooo beautiful..and then much to your surprise and delight, she explodes with intelligence,charm and grace. She grew up in Fleet and has known Caleb for a very long time so we are all in for a treat. Friday is me again with the Leb update. Saturday is a look at Fleet through the eyes of Sky and Cedar's father, Chuck. Sunday I have asked Kai to Blog because he and Caleb share what seems to me sometimes to be one heart and he knows Caleb inside and out. They have different personalities but when it comes to understanding and compassion, laughter and love, they are cut out of the same fabric, pressed and ready to wear. Monday my dear friend Jodi will blog. Jodi was the key ingredient in putting together the most successful fund raising crew you could get and she worked her --- off for Caleb. Thank you all - what a line-up. Love, mumsie

Jennie update!!!

These are some of Caleb's nurses and yes, they are all giving the "jag" sign. Oh ya, and they all hang out in his room and think he is hilarious.

I asked Caleb to give a kiss to everyone because you are all thinking of him...and here it is. Muah!!

Caleb is talking on the phone to Kai and reading the morning paper.


He could not sit up at all 2 weeks ago, and he now sits and eats on the side of his bed and reads the paper every morning.
Say Cheese!!! Caleb is so much more photogenic then I am. He is soo handsome!!!!

My visit with Caleb has been absolutely amazing and I want everyone to start this blog off with a smile, because Caleb is even smiling again. You know the feeling you get when you first meet someone you are falling for...when your eyes meet...or your lips touch for the first time? I get that feeling when I am around Caleb. We are giddy around each other. At times, when we are sitting in his bed alone, we just gaze into each others eyes and not say a word, because we know what the other is thinking. Then we just get these silly smiles on and I giggle like a little girl and Caleb puts on this adorable smile.
Here is a little update for all of you who have been waiting. Caleb is eating three meals a day, and gaining more and more weight everyday. He is practicing his breathing while speaking and has become very vocal. The speech region on his brain was damaged in the accident, so with persistent practice and patience, Caleb will be speaking in full sentences and clearer in time. Hearing his voice now is like angels singing, because it has been three months since I have heard it. Along with myself and some other very close friends, we have been calling Caleb's cell phone, just to hear his voice on his voicemail message. I know, it sounds crazy, but its very true. But we do not have to do that for much longer. Caleb is gaining his strength back and his mobility. He can walk with help from one person and he is very eager to move around as fast as possible. This morning he shaved his face, washed and dressed himself. These are all steps that Caleb needs to master so that he can come home as soon as possible, and he is doing such a good job at them. Whenever anyone helps him, even for the smallest task, he will look you in the eye and say.."Thank you." He is soo sweet and you see this in everything he does.I can't get enough of him when I am here. I wish i could put him in my purse and take him home with me. One day, he will just be a drive across town and I know we are all excited about that. Caleb is working extremely hard and doing his "jobs" as we call them. He is doing so well because of all the strength he is feeling from all of you. Thank you so much and keep the positive thoughts coming!!

Reminders & Degrees

Hi everyone, Lisa B here for you all today.
Yesterday I was so moved by a woman who wrote in that I immediately emailed her asking if I could use some of her blog for us all again today. I am awed by the overwhelming love that spills out of us when we dare enough to really let it! Thank you Susan, and I look forward to meeting you some day...

Susan in Portsmouth, NH said...
For Sharyn -
I have been spending parts of the summer on the cape all of my life - now nearly 50 years. About 7 or 8 years ago I was driving up route 6 with my kids - Hannah and Liam and we spied this fabulous looking group of people gardening outside a bank (I think) by the side of the road. There was this tall, blonde woman in overalls and 3 beautiful blonde boys who were all clearly related. We were smitten on the spot and commented about the loveliness of mom and boys and garden. On our way home from P-town later in the same day we stopped in Wellfleet for art and ice cream and again crossed paths with the beautiful gardeners. We have been referring to this group ever since as the "Wellfleet boys" - they have become for all of us a symbol of the way life can look and they come up in conversation whenever thoughts turn - for us more and more frequently - to the possibility of making the Cape our permanent home. I'm a single mom - have been for a while now - and this mystery woman surrounded by her boys has been a huge part of my consciousness for all these years - a living picture of loving and working beside your children. I follow a blog written by a woman who calls herself "blackbird." She and her family spend a week in Wellfleet every summer and this summer she happened to be there just after Caleb's accident. She referred to Caleb and posted a link in her blog to yours. I followed that link and as I read and scrolled back to the earlier posts all of the little hairs on my body began to stand on end. I realized that you are 'our' Wellfleet mother and Caleb, Max and Kai are 'our' Wellfleet boys and I felt, and continue to feel, an overwhelming connection to you. I've come to the conclusion of late that there really are only, at the very most, 2 degrees of separation between us all - not 6 - and I need you to know that even though we've never met - and most likely never will - you and your children have become an integral part of my little family and you are in our thoughts and in our hearts daily.
I'm certain that with time and the immense support you're receiving from friends, family and community your Caleb will return home to pick up where he left off and complete the circle of love and connectivity that's just waiting for him. Please know that you and yours have been a shining bright spot for me and mine for years.

Love to you all - Susan.

Hello everyone, Caleb continues to do well and is speaking more everyday - just short little phrases, but it is a start.
We walked to the river and watched the skateboarders yesterday who religiously arrive at dusk to practice their jumps at Secretaries park. Caleb was riveted. When I later tucked Caleb into bed, I realized that he was urgently attempting to tell me about his recollections of his accident. " I started to go crazy and couldn't stay on and the board hit me in the head". I think he feels the board hit him rather than him hitting the road...but the fact that he is remembering is telling - To face your fears is healing..and Caleb wants to go there.
For those curious about people on the blog - Shaye is Caleb's good friend who was driving the truck which Caleb latched onto just prior to his accident. Settie is married to Shaye's brother, Zack and is indeed the woman behind the incredible voice on Shaye and Kai's movie. Sky, as you know is my one of my adopted daughter's who is responsible for setting up this blog and Cedar is her brother, Caleb's best friend from day one. Kevin is one of my cherished friends who makes me laugh and he runs the local liquor store.( a good friend to have) Lisa introduced herself quite well and the rest I think you can figure out.
Life at Spaulding can be difficult to watch. Some of the poor critters up here with head injuries have turned into monsters - demanding, obnoxious, pushy and frightening in a way. This can be common with head injury. Caleb, on the other hand has just turned sweeter than ever. He will attempt a thank you when he is feeling sick , apologizes for vomiting, and is as kind as ever a person has been. It seems to have amplified all the good already in him. He has become the model of how I wish to be. I shall try to never complain again about the little annoyances, or procrastinate because I am tired, or concentrate on all the aches and pains.....I will close one eye and will try to see as clearly as he does.
Love, mumsie

Kai, Caleb and Max

Philippe, an old friend and former neighbor of Sharyn, Jan and the boys, just found this photo in an old album and sent it on to me. I thought you might like to see the boys in their younger years.
Thanks Philippe...

home away from home

Caleb was sitting up this a.m. - ready for his lumbar puncture. This will determine ( after 3 such procedures) whether or not Caleb will need a permanent draining shunt to be inserted into his brain with tube running to the belly. I was trying to prep him by practicing the word Pain to let me know if he needed help. He responded by saying Pain..... I said once again - what are you going to tell me if it hurts when the Doc punctures you -- He said " Mother f----r! I almost fell to the floor with laughter. Since the 4th I have been holding my breath wondering if the true essence of Caleb's personality was in there --Caleb is all about laughter and making people feel easy. He has a quick to light up, cat ate the canary sort of smile and coupled with lightning speed deliverance, he is quite the mumbo jumbo of lightheartedness and wit. I think I can say with confidence, that our Caleb still resides in there- in full glory.
Quick notes - I would like to ask the person who knows about the singing Doc to get in touch..I am opening up my e-mail address so that anyone out there with helpful ideas can write...please know that in spite of all this blogging, I am a recluse and adore my privacy - so be gentle! Sharyn_lindsay@yahoo.com. Please be brief.
The first of the "company" for Caleb arrived yesterday. Cedar; Caleb's best friend from day one and Ethan ( who now is dating Cedar's sister, Sky) - ( starting to sound more like Fleet, huh? ) who has been watching over Caleb's grant and is a "new" best friend. Caleb was shy and quiet around Cedar and I asked him ( when Cedar stepped out) if he was happy to see him - he shook his head no ! Initially I was surprised and then guessed that Cedar would be the one who most reminded Caleb of who he had been and of the contrast now. I am taking this as a good sign. If Caleb has a keen sense of who he was prior to the accident then I firmly believe he can get back there. It didn't take long for the comfort level to come seeping back. After about an hour they were hangin like the two year olds they once were, sitting together on my living room floor, poised on all fours, and ready for trouble.
Caleb is coming along: smiles a bit more each day , completes words and pronounces more clearly. He is now able to tell me when he has to use the bathroom and 4 out of 5 times - we make it! He dresses himself and washes and shaves. He is depressed, and rightfully so, but grins when I tell him that he will be back in Fleet soon with his brothers and dad and millions of friends and supporters. He is more and more, himself.
When first in the city, I thought I would find it cold and distant and lonely. I felt I would be lost in a sea of passing faces and that I would be mining my memory for faces of home - those people who smile and greet you. This is what I unearthed... The couple at the liquor store who always smile at me and speak as if we have known each other for years, the manager at the restaurant where I go late night for an appetizer and a glass of Riesling who sneaks me a second glass and joins me for conversation, and the sweet chef where I go for comfort take-out who, while I wait
( and he is trying to close down for the night) hands me a warm oatmeal cookie on an even warmer plate. I will be bringing them all home with me. Love, mumsie

Tube top

Hello out there - please first I want to say thanks to all of you who walk me through the walk to make me smile again...Kevin, laughter is the best medicine and it is what you and have in common, plus our cup size.
Caleb's G tube on the top of his stomach comes out this morn which is why I am here so early. This makes him for the first time since the 4th of July - totally tube-less!!!!!! With Jen's update you are able to see how well he is coming along. He still gets confused and irrational at times, has great difficulty with speech, but as we speak, he is sitting in his chair, reading the morning paper, and waiting for the Doc..
We are comfortable here and love all of our nurses - and I feel our Doc is top notch so don't worry about us.
Caleb is bored with his routine and has his schedule down, so now and I am opening up parts of the week for visiting. You will need to call me first. As you know his popularity
could really be a problem with all of you rushing up - so get in contact with Kai, get my cell and get on a list!
I have a new zebra bad ass handbag, Lisse and co-workers sent me the best care package a girl could want ( you guess), Caleb is looking and acting sharp and life at Spaulding is only getting better. Gotta run - things to do! Love, Mumsie

Girlfriend update!!

funny faces!!!!


I was up in Boston this past Monday and Tuesday and had a great time. I look forward to seeing Caleb from the moment I leave on tuesday till the next Monday. It was our 3 year- 4 month anniversary and I was soo excited to be able to be with Caleb on our special day. Caleb is gaining weight and eating really well. For lunch today, he had roast beef, carrots salad and soup. He really loves to eat, and when he is finished with his meal, he looks at all of our plates for more. And if you know Caleb or any of the Potter boys, they will eat all your food off your plate if you don't want it. ..in seconds. Caleb feeds himself with a spoon and fork and tries to mix everything, because that is what he has seen us doing when we feed him..( that was when he was eating all pureed food). On Tuesday, he started mixing his dessert custard in with his salad, but then he quciky realized what we was doing and stopped. When I visit Caleb, we cant get enough of each other, we cant stop kissing, we hold hands all the time and snuggle and nap everytime I go up there. We flew paper airplanes around his bed, and he smiled so big. Yes, our Caleb is smiling and it is so beautiful. Next time I am up there, I will take a pictures of it, because it will bring tears to your eyes.
On tuesday, he was put into this crazy aparatus, which teaches him how to walk again, but it does the work for him. It holds up his weight with a harness around his waist, and these robot legs go over his legs. They move by a computer and simulate walking. It is the coolest thing to watch, and they put a mirror infront of him, so that he can watch himself. This machine will teach Caleb what it feels to walk and build up muscle without him even trying. Caleb is building up strength and I see it most when he is getting in his wheelchair. Even last week, Caleb would be dead weight in the nurses arms and he would have to be lifted into his chair, but that has changed. Now he stands with help and moves his legs around really well to get into the chair and puts his hands back and sits with help.
I wanted to make this short and sweet but I feel like there is so much I can write. Caleb is also tries to talk alot. He mostly lips words because he is still learning how to breath while he speaks. Be when I am with him whispers sweet things in my ears. I love it. I miss his voice soo much, and It sounds exactly the same. Okay, I am going to sign off on this note....When I was leaving, Caleb wanted to come in the hall to come say bye to me and we kissed goodbye and he whispered something to me. He said....."Thanks for helping me." I love this kid!!!!

Is humor good medicine?

Hello to everyone in cyberspace here! Thanks for visiting! I think I will basically address this to all the wonderful visitors who don’t know Caleb and his family or even have ever been to Wellfleet before. I know there are a lot of you like that out there. You Fleetians and other great friends can just hum along to the lyrics with me here... I’m Kevin Scalley and I have managed the Liquor Store in Wellfleet Center since 1975. I have known the Lindsay/Potter family since I first moved to Wellfleet in 1975. I’ve had the great pleasure of watching Caleb, Kai and Max since their toddler days to today. As a father of two boys 16 and 19 I totally love watching all the kids growing up and I have a great time teasing all the kids I see.

“Is humor good medicine?” I ask in my post title. Well, I will let everyone here be the judge of that. About 5 or 6 years ago I was given a life size stand up cardboard cut out image of Elvira by the Bartles and James Wine Company for display purposes at the Liquor Store. Well, we all know how curvy Elvira is and I decided with a digital picture of Sharyn I had I would print a life size picture of her face and place it over Elvira’s to have everyone think it was Sharyn! I faced it pointing out the window of the Liquor Store to Main St. so everyone could see it. It was an absolute riot to watch people go by and you could read their lips saying “Isn’t that Sharyn?” I don’t know whose grin was bigger coming into the Liquor Store! Caleb, Kai or Max’s, let alone Sharyn! Did Sharyn ever say “Oh! Kevin I’m so embarrassed by this... Well, nooooooooo way! The Elvira cutout with Sharyn’s face stayed in the Liquor Store window a good year or so and finally it became faded from the sun and had to go to the dump. A proper burial ceremony was performed there. The good news is the real Sharyn hasn’t faded a bit!

Ok, here’s another one. Last spring Caleb and Sharyn had their picture in the paper while doing their landscaping work. Kai was MIA that day and was mad he didn’t make it into the newspaper picture. I cut the picture out of the newspaper and placed it in a counter mat the Lottery gave me that has a protective see through cover to display newsie type items. Now the fun begins, on a nightly basis when I’m not working numerous Lindsay/Potter family members come in and add mustaches, tattoos and insert a picture of the MIA Kai along with other art work. Just about every morning when I opened the Liquor Store a new addition of artwork would appear! I inserted a photo of their art work they had done on the newspaper photo below. Not to be out done Jodi a friend of Sharyn, myself and many others puts a picture from a newspaper of herself that was taken while she was teaching at school. Three Ring Circus you say? There are many very talented artists that live in Wellfleet and also that come for the summer. The Lindsay/Potter family will not put their professions at risk! I told the Potter boys I was going to ban the Lindsay/ Potter’s from the Liquor Store if their shenanigans kept up! Did they listen? Thank God No!


I presently in the counter mat at the Liquor Store have a newspaper article on Caleb that had appeared this summer after the accident for all who may have missed it. The Lindsay/Potter’s unquestionably make Wellfleet the special place that it is. I’m so glad I know them all!

One more thing, a lot of the guest bloggers have put a picture of themselves on their posts. I decided to include a recent picture of my self below here after a visit to my Liquor Store by one of the Lindsay/Potter clan!

Low day

Remarkable, as usual Kai. Thank you . Now I am working on the Max blog.
A low, boggy kinda day for me today..guess I am entitled to a few. I feel I echo each rise and fall of Caleb. He has a good day - I have a good day. He has a bad day - I have a bad day. The boys had a favorite saying when they were young.. "When moms happy - we're happy" ..now that chant has become - when Caleb is happy......
Today, when he is vomiting, I am sick to my stomach, when he is slow and confused , I am an uneasy slug. This is a minute to minute kind of experience... just like on the 4th of July - one minute Caleb is by my side telling me all about the parade - he is vibrant -- and the next minute, following a phone call, Kai is driving sixty down Long Pond Rd. and our lives have changed forever.
Knowing what you now know about us - we will get through this and we will do what is necessary to get Caleb home and back to complete health. And you know my family is just stellar and we will hold each other up.. It's just that sometimes the magnitude of what has happened slips into my being and I want to cry out to the night and I want the sun to make it all go away.
Some days are low and forgive me for this is a low one for me. Caleb is still improving, but there are days when I can no longer muster up the energy to be happy that he said one word out loud, or that he took 3 more steps than yesterday. This is the kid who took twenty steps on his first attempt at walking.
It has been a long day and the evening is always more difficult- the dark settles in and shows no signs of leaving, and I must just remember that darkness is not proof of the absence of light.

Oysters, Community & Volunteers oh my!

Dear friends,
This blog is about Caleb...but it is also about the power of community. As you know, the Oysterfest is soon hitting the beautiful town of Wellfleet. The word on the street is that there is still a serious need for volunteers. If you're not already booked for the weekend of October 13th and 14th, check out http://www.wellfleetoysterfest.org/howtohelp.html
and consider signing up for a 2 or 4 hour shift. There are many ways that you could help out and...it's a blast! There are benefits for the 4-hour-volunteers: a meal ticket and a t-shirt.
Thanks everybody!
