<div> Otherwise, there is no specific need to hang around Tutorials beyond the initial 40 minutes.</div><div> If there are immediate needs, Stewart or Doug or I will ask for willing volunteers on the spot.</div>

If you are unable to attend the meeting, that is fine. Instead please stop by the Green Room, preferably in the morning between 7:00am and 9:00am. The Green Room is located in the 212 meeting room on the second floor above registration. <br>
<br></div><div>Small deeds can make a big difference. <br></div>

<div><br>We still have 15 open Session Staff positions for both runners and chairs. If you have not, please considersigning up for one of the remaining slots. <br><br></div><div>While you're at it, grab some Tutorial Host slots too - same deal: direct people to get to the right rooms on time.</div>
<div>Short; easy; helpful.</div><div><br></div><div>Here are low commitment needs we have:</div><div><ul><li>WED-SAT: Registration desk (an hour or two at the peak times can really make a difference);</li><ul><li><a href="http://goo.gl/y5cXA" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/y5cXA</a></li>

<div><br></div><div><div>Don't take on too much - what you do helps and is enough!</div><div><div>Remember to encourage others to volunteer. </div><div><div>My first PyCon someone tossed me a volunteer shirt: "I'm not a volunteer." "You are now!"</div>
</div><div>A half-hour or hour of time isn't much, and it's a great way to meet people you might not otherwise meet. </div><div><br></div></div><div>Remember to have lots of fun. Don't forget to check "events" on guidebook (<a href="http://guidebook.com/" target="_blank">guidebook.com</a>).</div>
