From The Bouchercon Organizing Committee:
BOUCHERCON NEEDS VOLUNTEERS!
Now is the time for all good volunteers to come to the aid of
the Bouchercon.
Yes, we know it's very late. There's nothing we can do about
that now. Jodi Dabson Bollendorf and Kate Buker have stepped
in at this late date to try to match people with jobs they'd
like to do. We need volunteers for the registration desk, the
signing room, and in panel rooms.
People can work at the registration desk on Wednesday from 2
pm until 7 pm, and on Thursday from 8 am until 5:30 pm, and
on Friday from 8 am until midafternoon. Working at the
registration desk entails handing out nametags and bookbags.
It's a great way to meet a lot of people in a short
time.
We need room monitors for each of the 90 panels from Thursday
noon until Sunday at 11:30 am. The room monitor's job starts
shortly before the panel, making sure that there are working
microphones, fresh water glasses and water, and the correct
author name tents on the table. During the panel, the room
monitor alerts the moderator when there are15, 5, and then no
minutes left. Room monitors will be matched with the panels
of their choice wherever possible, on a first come first
served basis.
People can work in the signing room before and during
signings, assisting Al Abramson in getting the author name
tents to the right places, keeping signing lines sane, and
helping people find their way.
If you are willing to volunteer, we need to know when you can
help, and what job(s) you'd like to do. Room monitor
volunteers please list the panels you want by panel title and
by day and time. The panel schedule is online at http://www.bouchercon2006.com/panelsch.htm
In order to get volunteer assignments made before people
actually leave home for the convention, we are on a very
short deadline. Please email Jodi or Kate by the end of the
day on Thursday, September 21. We plan to send placement
notices back by the end of the day on Sunday, September 24,
2006.
Please email Jodi if your last name begins with A - I. Please
email Kate if your last name begins with J - Z.
A - I email Jodi at
jodidb@charter.net
J - Z email Kate at
nkateb@msn.com
Thank you. We appreciate everyone's help very much.
