  • 1.  Volunteers Needed for RMRT Booth @ ALA Annual

    Posted Apr 13, 2012 09:42 PM

    The RMRT will have a booth on Friday during the Exhibits Reception, and I have the responsibility of getting volunteers to help at the booth.  There will be information at the booth about our group.  A welcoming smile is about all that is needed ;-) 

    I will be working the first hour from 5:30 until 6:30 pm.  And, I would love to have another RMRT member to help me.

     Volunteers are also needed from 6:30 pm until 7:30 pm. 

    If you would like to volunteer for 30 minutes or more, please let me know.

    Thanks in advance to your helping with this outreach.

    Hi Ann Marie

    with the RMRT dinner following, I have many people to meet and greet during the 'opening'... but if you are truly desperate, I might be able to squeeze in some of the first shift.,..

    Ann,

    I have a pretty full conference schedule and I am hesitant to commit at this point (and then leave you in the lurch later).  But keep me in mind and please contact me closer to the time if you're still in need.

    Are you only looking for Friday evening volunteers?

    Thanks.

    The more people we have the less time we will have to work freeing everyone up to visit the booths.  A 30 minute commitment would allow for enough time that night to see everything and still allow whoever is working to get settled and into a routine.

    I will put you on the list and let all know how it is coming as I have posted to several lists.

    Not desperate, yet, but I will put you down and update you as we get closer.  Thanks.

        I am a new member as of Jan. 2013. I can help staff the booth (no?) from 6:30-7:30 as needs. Is there a dinner afterwards? where and when?
