WLA Volunteering

I received this attached to an email from the volunteer coordinator for WLA:

The 2009 Wisconsin Library Association Annual Conference is quickly approaching. Join your colleagues to “Reclaim the Magic” at the Radisson Paper Valley Hotel, in Appleton, October 20-23 and help out by volunteering your time. Volunteers play a vital role at every WLA Conference and contribute to its success, so please consider donating a few hours of your time in Appleton.

The Conference Committee is seeking volunteers for the registration desk. Shifts will be kept short, no more than two hours, so that you won’t miss out on many of the exciting programs. If you enjoy catching up with friends and meeting new people, registration is the place for you!

Registration is open on Tuesday, October 20 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.; on Wednesday, October 21 and Thursday, October 22 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and on Friday, October 23 from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.

The Conference Committee is also looking for volunteers to assist presenters with laptops, projectors and other technology needs. If you are looking for an opportunity to be “out and about” during the conference and enjoy troubleshooting technology, this is for you!

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Desiree Bongers at dbongers@riponlibrary.org and include the date(s) and time(s) you are available (morning, afternoon or evening).

Volunteers do not need to be members of WLA. Volunteers who are not attending any programs on the day they volunteer do not need to pay registration fees for that day. Otherwise, all registration fees apply.

Thank you for your consideration. I hope to see many of you at the conference!

Sincerely,

Desiree Bongers
