Volunteers must attend a briefing and assignment meeting on the evening of Sunday, April 13. There will be a training session Sunday morning at 9:00 AM for those wanting to work Sunday doing registration. Applicants must rank order their preferences for a tutorial. Every effort will be made to accomodate applicants' first choices, but an early application is the best guarantee.
