Be sure to have a copy of Blacks or Kith and Kin so people can look up names. They love to do that, and you'll be able to help folks, even if it's not your own clan to which they gravitate. For me, it's all about fun, education, and camaraderie.

And--you probably already know this--be prepared for all sorts of myths, misinformation, and assumptions by the folks who stop by. The more you know, the better. And be prepared to spring into action to sign up new members with forms and such. I've signed up lots of folks who had no original intention of joining when they first came.
