Can anyone help with Bike to Work Week?

hi all:
most of you know I'm doing a contract with bike to work week. it's been mostly sponsorship and planning up so far, but now it's shifting to the execution phase for the week of May 30 to Jne3. That means lots of running around picking up equipment and food, setting up the celebration stations (tents and tables, coffee, snacks) for the morning and evening commuter times, and hosting fellow cyclists and generally sharing our genius at discovering a better way to commute.
pete (truck), galen and geoff (driving and pickup) have already stepped up to pick up equipment tomorrow for the Commuter Challenge wednesday, , a promotional car-bike challenge event, finishing at starbucks, fort and blanshard, 7-9 am.
but now I'm reduced to a veritable one-arm paper hanger, so could use some help. plus it's fun and good networking. our board has several political types (councillor john luton, former mla david cubberly and other interesting folks from media, communications, (tc) who all work the stations, both the light manual labour and the hosting/schmoozing. just let us know what days and locations you can do,
The stations are different each day and spread over the city. the map and schedule is here:

we set up about 45 minutes before the scheduled time, and finish loading trucks about 30 min after. it would be ideal to have you the entire time, but leaving early or coming late would help too. all the starbucks, Cobs bread and Share Organics fruit and vegetables you can eat, pl burgers at the final event.
since i might be out of action with the surgery for most of tomorrow, post here, but write me at lister@biketowork.ca, and copy the executive director, Frank Hudson Frank@biketowork.ca, so he can stop worrying that I'll let him down. i plan to be at each station, or at least one in every time slot.
ps you don't have to ride to the stations; in fact we can use drivers for pick up trucks too.

I see the g is next to the h on the keyboard, so I blame pre-caffeine state. (another of the downsides of not riding).
