A WARM WELCOME (AND AN INVITATION) FROM THE VOLUNTEER CO-CHAIRS

Welcome to CT.
Welcome to Hartford.
Welcome to NERGC’s Hartford Conference, “New England CONNECTions”

Want to help folks feel connected, welcomed, appreciated?

A good place to start is by helping at the volunteer table.

Volunteers are critical to the success of our conferences and we need flexible, “can do” individuals to staff the Volunteer Table. The conference Information/Hospitality table will not be manned until Thursday, so on Wednesday, in addition to welcoming and orienting volunteers, the Volunteer Table will be the general everything table.

Janet Wallace, the Hospitality Chair, will provide some materials to assist with Wednesday’s hospitality/information component of the task, and the volunteer co-chairs will provide volunteer information and materials, but it is the PERSON, the PEOPLE, who will make this work. During less busy times the volunteer table host will be assisting with registration or other nearby tasks. Are you flexible? Are you a “can do” person? Do you have some time to volunteer for this critical opportunity?

Are you willing to be a host at the volunteer table? Help is needed Wednesday 8:00 A.M. - 7:00 P.M.; Thursday 11:00 A.M. - 2:15 P.M. and 3:45 - 9:00 P.M.; Friday 7:30 A.M. - 11:30 P.M. and 1:30 - 7:30 P.M.; and Saturday 7:00 A.M. - 7:30 P.M. These hours have been tentatively broken down into two hours or less per time slot, but we’re flexible. Just tell us when you would like to volunteer and we’ll take it from there.
