This weekend, Saturday 5-3 and Sunday 5-4, is the ESP Gifted Children's
Conference. They want APO to provide 4 people at a time all day both days.
There are 5 people signed up in the office. So clearly this is because
you all forgot to sign up... right?
The work is mostly sitting at the desk dealing with registration, occasionaly
working a VCR, or helping to shepherd/babysit the kids and their parents.
Fortunately for all of you, I am NOT providing a free breakfast ala Mike.
Trust me -- you wouldn't want to see the results of my cooking anyway.
So if you can come for some time, any time, between 8 am Saturday and 6 pm
Sunday, let me know. Sign up in the office. Give me a call. Reply to this
mail. Send smoke signals. Carrier pigeons. Whatever.
-Brian
PS Anybody who helps for any amount of time gets free admission to the rest
of the conference.
