How about volunteering some time at the All CON demo, March 7<sup>th</sup>, 8<sup>th</sup>,
and 9<sup>th</sup> at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Midway in <st1:place w:st="on">Addison</st1:place>? We
need volunteers of all types, from fighters to artists to workers, but
especially people who like people! Come pull a single shift, or come and hang
out all day -- just come in costume and have a good time!</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

and we need to man our booth inside of the vendor’s room all day on March 8<sup>th</sup>
and 9<sup>th</sup> during All CON vendor hours. But you won't be pinned down to
the booth for hours -- there's too much to do and see! Events before the vendor
room opens and after it closes are up to you! If your availability is limited,
but you live close or will be close to the area, consider just helping us set
up or tear down. [shameless plea for assistance!]</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

costumes, armor, weaving, calligraphy, embroidery, metal work – well, you name
it, we need it….with the exception of food and alcohol. (Food for our private
consumption is ok, but is probably not cool to put out for tasting.) We also
need people to do various presentations and fighting demos. If you do an art
that could be interactive, are a bard or fighter, we can use you for
presentations! You don’t have to be a star Bard, Knight or Laurel to
give interested mundanes a taste of what we do. Of course, we won’t turn you
down if you are one of those exalted few, but what we DO need is people who can
talk to other people about who we are and what we do in a way that will
interest but not intimidate them. Demos are one of our most important tools to
interest newcomers, and you can be instrumental in bringing new people
in! </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
