AAOS SHOW--We still have three positions that we need to fill for our upcoming orchid show in April. First, we need a Publicity Assistant to help our Publicity Director Wendy Frisch. Duties would include creating fliers and posters, distributing them to various sites around Ann Arbor, and working with the local media. Second, we need two Hospitality CoSupervisors (the AAOS Board recently decided to split what was originally a volunteer stint for one person into ajob that two people could share). Duties of the hospitality co-supervisors are to: (1) oversee the set-up, serving, and clean-up of the Friday set-up meal (light snacks & drinks to be available 12:00 noon to 7:00pm for the vendors, exhibitors and AAOS volunteers); (2) oversee the Friday night buffet-style Preview Party; (3) oversee the set-up, serving, and clean-up of the Saturday Judges/Clerks breakfast (donutsfbagels & drinks to be available 7:30am to 8:00am); (4) oversee the set-up, serving, and clean-up of the Saturday Judge's luncheon (buffet-style meal at 12:00 noon); (5) coordinate a balanced menu with the help of willing AAOS volunteers; and (6) purchase any necessary foods or rent any food-related items required. (Don't worry, AAOS pays, not the Co-Supervisors).

We're grateful to Barb Larime for agreeing to be Volunteer Supervisor. Duties of the volunteer supervisor are to (1) recruit and organize adequate numbers of workers from among members for specificjob functions and schedules; (2) work with show chairperson to insure adequate member participation; (3) assist the various volunteers throughout the show (Friday-Sunday) to facilitate a smooth operation. For each of these positions there will be plenty of assistance from the Show Committee, so you won't be left on your own. If you would like to volunteer for any of the vacant positions or have any questions about them, please call me (971-6186) or see me at our February meeting--Alex Challis
