>> Arnass Lucassen needs his personal belongings, which DK had been working on, but
since he's stepping back from responsibilities could someone else help out?? I thought
Arnas might have been involved with Sudo somehow and thought you might all possibly have
some familiarity with this situation. I personally cannot help out with this right now.

taped with duct tape, which apparently was not allowed.). This has been done.
>>>
>>> - There were two large (but light) chairs and cushions that still needed to
be packed.
>>>
>>> I personally spent an afternoon going to 7 different stores attempting to
find shipping boxes large enough to accommodate the chairs. Boxes this large are
apparently not sold at moving places, and the appliance / grocery stores with large boxes
would not give them to me - they get crushed / compressed at 5am before the store is open
and I could not get them to set any aside.
>>>
>>> Therefore, I set a volunteer looking for something to do, towards fabricating
shipping boxes for these chairs - and indeed there are two large boxes fabricated, in the
ballroom.
>>>
>>> These 2x large boxes need the following:
>>> - 1 chair & 1 associated cushion put in each box
>>> - Packed with shipping peanuts or similar cushioning material to reduce
movement inside the box
>>> - These 2 boxes particularly should be entirely enclosed in packing tape (all
external surface areas) - they will be put on a container ship, so this needs to be
solid.
>>> - Remaining 2 shipping labels printed out and affixed & instructions re:
labelling followed (pasted in below).
>>>
>>> I bought more packing tape for the boxes for this purpose into the ballroom
by the boxes, but I am not sure where that tape is at this time, since I am not there.

>>> Anyhow David, if you can please finish packing these boxes, and get them over
to FedEx?
