Deborah Morgan:

I would love to volunteer to help out at the Dallas Conference. I am not a member, just a reading teacher who loves to be around books.

J. Strange:

Everyone is allowed to volunteer for the conference. The more, the merrier! And if you volunteer for 4 or more hours you will recieve a complimentary Exhibits Only Pass.
