A few notes for all volunteers:

To show appreciation for your time, commitment (and enthusiam), all
volunteers will get reserved seating near the front of the stage.  As well,
you will not be charged to take in the Expo and the presentations by David
Suzuki and Ralph Torrie.  And, you will also be fed (pizza and drinks) to
keep your energy up so you'll be ready for the 1000 or so folks we are
expecting that night!  Afterwards, for those volunteers who have any energy
and time left, there are many watering holes we could go to in Ottawa....
