>New York, New York--it's a wonderful town!
>And volunteering for the Internet Room is a GREAT way to commemorate your
>stay in New York for the American Library Association annual conference!
>
>Yes, once more LITA's Internet Room Steering Committee has the nerve--or
>should we say noive?--to ask for volunteers to staff the Internet Room.
>We're looking for conference attendees willing to commit one or two hours
>at a stretch during Exhibit hours to help users as they check email, surf
>the 'net, and inspect the latest and greatest Internet software.
>
>As usual, the benefits of volunteering for the Internet Room are generous.
>In addition to the opportunity to rub shoulders with the cognoscenti (many
>of whom eerily resemble other Internet-Room volunteers) you will get to
>wear a handsome, limited-edition Internet Room button. If that's not
>enough, we plan a lavish... well, filling dutch-treat Volunteer Dinner at
>the truly eclectic Bendix Diner in Chelsea, just a brisk half-mile walk
>from Javits Center through the scenic theater district.
>
>The requirements for volunteering in the Internet Room are simple. You
>tell us (soon as you can) which one or two-hour blocks you can work during
>the exhibit-hall schedule listed below. You agree to attend one of two
>orientation sessions (Friday 6 p.m. or Saturday 8:30 a.m.). You show up
>and do your thing. You don't have to be an Internet guru, though some
>Internet experience helps. That's it!
>
>We'll keep you posted with a Volunteer Schedule posted pre-conference at
><http://www.bluehighways.com/vols.html>.
>
>Here's the 1996 Annual Conference exhibit-hall schedule. Sign up by

>conference!
