The 2009 Meeting of the Astronomical Society

The Society has room for a couple of additional
volunteers for the conference.  If you work a day as a
volunteer, you get registration for that day plus another day
at the conference free. Volunteers assist with registration,
message boards, audio-visual needs, checking badges,
and other meeting-related tasks.
