NERGC 2007 STILL NEEDS VOLUNTEERS!

With many thanks to those of you who have let us know you ability to help out, here are some high priority areas for which we still have high needs.

Registration Booth Volunteers: We badly need to get assignments for the 6-8 volunteers needed to "man" the Registration area to assure that no long lines occur and all of our registrants efficiently receive the information they need. Wed 3 - 7 pm, Thursday 10-1:30 and 5-6:30 as well as starting at 7 on both Friday and Saturday are PRIME TIMES when we will need volunteers to efficiently manage those arriving. Mary Choppa, Chairperson of Registration will have all well organized for you to help out comfortably.

Ancestry Road Show: Triage Volunteers are needed 8 - 12 and 1:30 - 6 on Friday and 7:30 to 11:30 on Friday. Ancestry Road Show Timers/Hosts are needed 9-12 and 2-5 in hourly slots on both Friday and Saturday. Don't forget if you wish to volunteer as an expert, the Ancestry Road Show chairpersons Fred Hart mailto:hartfc@aol.com?subject=NERGC%202007 and Christine Sweet-Hart mailto:massroots@comcast.net?subject=NERGC%202007 would love to hear directly from you.

Special Interest Group Session Hosts: Are you going to one of the Thursday Special Interest Groups? Would you be willing to assist with some logistics at the group session? We'd like to identify one volunteer for each of the approximately 10 sessions.

Many other volunteer opportunities exist. Contact the Volunteer Committee Co-Chairs with your preferences for assignments in the above high need areas as well as in helping with AV/Signage, Hospitality, meal ticket takers, and many other tasks. Session Hosts introduce speakers and wrap up the session on time letting you volunteer without sacrificing your program priorities. Get your requests for assignments in now. You will receive confirmation ahead of time and packets with all the specific instructions and resources you need to carry out your tasks when you arrive at the conference.
