Volunteers?

Last year I didn't get a chance to check out all the great boards people brought because I was watching the front door, so I am hoping to get a few volunteers to help out this year.

Some tasks/duties we need help with:

   • Door watcher/greeter - give out nametags for boards and people as well as voting dots for best in class keyboard
   • Typing competition runner - record results for people doing the typing competition
   • Best in class final judge - add up the total votes on the keyboards.
