>Hello:

>     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)
>
>Wednesday, July 8 Banquet Day and Adjournment * (especially before 
>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 
>the site of the convention in order to be as helpful to convention 
>attendees as possible.  You can find a very helpful article at:
