I'm coordinating volunteers for Boskone 30, to be held in
Framingham, MA from February 19-21.  I'm about to send out a mailing
to people who volunteered, but I thought I'd upload the mailing to
see if I can attract a few more good fen:
 
 
                It takes all kinds of fen to run a con.  
        Please consider volunteering to help with Boskone 30!!
 
 
People Mover is going to be run out of Information again this year, and
will be run informally.  Once you arrive at the Sheraton Tara, you can
proceed down the hall from the main lobby towards Molly Malone's.
Appropriately enough, People Mover/Information is the last stop before
Molly Malone's.  Yes, you'll still need to fill out a Legal Release Form,
but that's about it.  There will be a whiteboard in the Information area,
listing where gophers are believed to be currently needed.
 
If you've worked at conventions before, you can request to be preassigned
to an area.  Check with an area that you've worked with before, or send
me E-mail.  We'll try to work something out.
 
If you've never worked on a con before, WELCOME ABOARD! Take a minute to
figure out what you think you'd like to do.  You can work in many areas or
just one, depending on where we need you and what you'd like to do.  We ask
that you sign up for two hour shifts at a minimum.  Here's when/where we'll
be needing extra help:
