The AM-FM AG is in Pittsburgh!

Wow!  Can you believe it? You don’t have to travel a long distance to attend the AG. You don’t have to worry about saving up for the registration fee AND travel expenses. You don’t have to wander around in a city with which you are unfamiliar.

You already know the local attractions, so you can attend the AG and submerge yourself in the programs, hang out in hospitality, and renew friendships with people you only see occasionally. If there are places locally that you do want to go, you can go with other like-minded people. You get to brag about your city and maybe enrich the tours for the out-of-towners. How cool is all that?

What is even better is that if you want to attend the AG for a short time, you can do so by volunteering 2-4 hours. Not only will you be there for the hours volunteered, you get to hang around for the same amount of hours before or after your shift(s). This offer is for WPaM members only and is limited to 4 hours outside of your volunteer time. So, if you volunteer 4 hours, you get 4 hours, equal to 8 hours total. Those that work 4 hours may also buy a 1 day pass for $20.00 that can be used any day. Only one day pass per volunteer. You have to be scheduled ahead of time and receive a special badge.

 Obviously, we want volunteers but the offer can be a side benefit to the local members who cannot afford to attend the AG or are not sure if they want to spend the money. It is a great way for new members to see what the fuss is all about. If you like what you see, you could then register and pay for the rest of the time you want to attend the AG.

We really could use help on Tuesday, June 30 to set up at the hotel.  We need people willing to lift and tote. If you cannot do a lot of heavy lifting then you can help organize in the different areas.

We especially would like members of the local group to help out at the Action Desk during the AG. Because a lot of the questions asked usually pertain to the local area, it is logical to have locals answer the questions.

You can contact me at nitavolunteer@aol.com if you have any questions or if you are ready to pitch in.  You can also contact local WPaM members Mike Firetto at firetto@comcast.net or Bob Fritz at bob.fritz@comcast.net.
Mike or Bob will pass your name on to me for actual scheduling.

I am Nita Jones, Volunteer Coordinator and I am asking for your help.
