> Dear Ambassadors:
> It is that time of year again. We are preparing for another great
> convention, and we are excited that you will be a part of making
> convention run smoothly . Our committee will function much like
> last year, where we will ensure that convention attendees feel
> welcome, are able to move efficiently to meetings and general
> sessions, and overall have a positive convention experience.

>One of our primary tasks at convention is marshalling. This hotel,
>as many of you may know, is a little tricky to navigate, so
>marshalling will play an important role this year. I am asking for
>individuals who are interested in volunteering for marshalling
>shifts to respond to this e-mail with days/times you will be able to
>serve. Here is a general overview of this year's convention
>schedule. Keep in mind that typically we need more help at peak
>times, which I have indicated with a *.
>
>
>Friday, July 3 Seminar Day
>
>Saturday, July 4 Registration and Packet Pick-up Day* (especially
>during registration morning)
>
>Sunday, July 5 Board Meeting and Division Day * (especially before
>and after the board meeting)
>
>Monday, July 6 Motor City March and Opening Session * (especially
>before the march, before sessions, and after sessions)

>Tuesday, July 7 Business Session * (before and after each session)

>and after each session and before/after banquet)

>I will provide you with a schedule of your assignments before
>convention, so you can be sure to plan for your commitments.

>Also, as an Ambassador, you might want to familiarize yourself with
