>The 2007 NFB National Convention is right around 
>the corner.  This year--just like last year--we 
>will be prominently exhibiting, as well as 
>selling, the Kurzweil–National Federation of the 
>Blind Reader in the exhibit hall.
>
>
>
>We will need to have volunteers who are familiar 
>with the Reader to staff the exhibit tables.  If 
>you are receiving this e-mail then you were an 
>Ambassador or a Pioneer during the beta-testing 
>of the Reader last year.  As such, you have 
>experience using the Reader and are 
>knowledgeable in what the Reader can and cannot 
>do.  Your unique perspective about this 
>revolutionary device will be a great asset in 
>demonstrating the Reader and providing 
>information to those at convention who are interested in learning more.

>Our exhibit will be in the exhibit hall 
>(International Hall on the International Level 
>of the Marriott Marquis), 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 
>on Sunday; 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Monday; 
>Tuesday from noon to 2:00 p.m.; Wednesday from 
>noon to 6:00 p.m., and Thursday and Friday from 
>noon to 2:00 p.m.   Right now we need volunteers 
>for all shifts except Sunday from 9:30 to 11:30; 
>Sunday from 3:30 to 5:30; and Tuesday from noon 
>to 2:00.  I have attached a schedule which shows 
>the breakdown of the shifts and those who have already volunteered.
>
>
>
>We will need at least two people per shift, so 
>please respond to this e-mail and let me know 
>what shifts you will be available to help 
>demonstrate the Reader.  I will send a final 
>schedule as soon as it is complete.
>
>
>
>I know convention is tremendously exciting and 
>busy, but I hope you will be able to help with 
>spreading the word about the Reader.  Please let 
>me know your availability as soon as possible, 
>and thanks in advance for all your work on this project!
