AAW 2012 Symposium and Volunteering

The list of volunteer jobs are now up online:  Link

You do need to pay the registration if you want to attend the symposium.  Most volunteer jobs do not require you be registered.

Next June will find the annual AAW Symposium in San Jose.  A good percentage of club members are members of the AAW and have been to this symposium.    The Club will assist in the volunteer ranks to make this 2012 Symposium a success.  

Entrance fees are due by the end of April, perhaps the middle of May, after which the price goes up.

The 3 local clubs will partner to make this happen, and it takes 20 committees to conduct a symposium.   The page for our club is at Link, including the new logo.

David Vannier is leading the charge for our club.  More updates soon hopefully.
