 Hi:
 Can you please forward the following message to the NABS list.

Thanks so much!

     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:

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.



Sincerely,

Angela Wolf, Chair

NFB Convention Ambassadors Committee
