Rare National Volunteer Oppurtunity

I'm writing to ask your help with a major event that Quorum is taking part in: the 2008 NGLCC National Business & Leadership Conference. We're going to need a great many volunteers to make it a success and I wonder if you could help gather some from Metro State.

The conference is held June 5-7 at the Minneapolis Hilton and we're expecting to welcome hundreds of visitors from across the country. Many will be seeing Minnesota for the first time and we want to make a good impression. We're looking for dozens of volunteers to help greet, register, and direct the attendees. A number of great volunteers will also get together on Tuesday, June 3, for a swag bag assembly party.

Contact info@twincitiesquorum.com or 651-646-1029. All volunteers will be welcomed to join us in conference sessions and other conference events.

Thank you in advance! I look forward to hearing from you -
Adam
