Volunteers from NOSA will be needed to assist Samantha D.-R. with various duties necessary to make this show a success.

Her contact information is available through the Club Contacts link in the column to the left. And yes, volunteers do enjoy working at these shows. It gives you a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and vendors and discuss our favourite sport.
