ISE Show: Thrusday, February 23rd - Sunday 26th

We have a booth at this years ISE Show in Phoenix. We will need volunteers to "man" the booth typically in shifts of four hours or longer if you are willing. Please see our president Mike Yavello if you are interested in helping. All volunteers will receive a full day admission to the show on their volunteer date and are free to wonder the exhibit floor before and after their shift. We just ask that you be at the booth during your scheduled shift. This is a great way to meet new people and hopefully get a few to join the club.
