Just a thought... I would not mind increasing the auto-x registration fee
*slightly* (not sure how much that would actually have to be) to allow us to
contract a security guard company to patrol each event and possibly control
signing of waivers at the entrance.
I haven't been a member for very long, but the number of entries seems to
hover around 300 per event. If we increase the registration fee from $25 to
$30, this would give us an extra $1500 that could go towards providing a
more secure atmosphere. I'm not 100% certain if this would be enough to
cover a security patrol.
Could this be a viable option? Would members mind increasing the fee?
Below is a link with some potential providers I found on the web (sorry
about the extremely long link):

This, inaddition to some of the other suggestions already made, could help
prevent our personal property from dissapearing, as well as help us keep
unwanted donut-doing guests from our events.
