Hey!  I will work or rather I know right now that I can work Sunday from 3 
to 5 p.m. in the Exhibit Hall and I know I can work from 8:30 to 10:30 in 
the Exhibit Hall.  those are really the best times for me.  does this help 
at all?

> I'll also send it out to this list.  Just as last year, two hour time

> but I'd say
> an hour minimum.  Those of you who are presidents of affiliates, if you

> exciting change this year will be that we plan to have one or two of the 
> new
> IBills at the table.  This is a simple little gadget that quickly and
> accurately tells you the denomination of a bill, no matter which way you
> place it.  It gives this information by spoken word, by beeps, or by
> vibrations.  This will help take some of the stress out of doing lots of
> transactions when we find ourselves with little or no sighted assistance.
> The other change this year is that we will hold a short informational
> teleconference for those who are kind enough to volunteer.  This will take
> place on Sunday, June 27, at 8 PM.  We hope this will take some of the
> wrinkles and/or bugs out of the scheduling process.
>
> Please email me off list with the time slot or slots for which you would
> like to volunteer.  Remember that we prefer two people at the table during
> each time
> slot.  If you definitely want to volunteer, but don't know which times you
> can commit to helping, please send me an email anyway so that I have a 
> list
> of names.  We can narrow down your table time(s) later.
