Email no 13 - 26 October - Knowing me, knowing you

KNOWING ME, KNOWING WARWICK - NEXT WEEK

I get more emails about site visits than anything else. So, two chances for a thorough look at all our programming, dining and recreation areas (accommodation will be occupied at that time).

4 November (Sunday) - next week!
6 December (midweek)

Whether you need to come or just want to come, you'd be very welcome. Email Dan Lavin on dlavin@gmail.com.

KNOW-HOW

All volunteers' event - Conference 2007 plus opportunities for Limmudfest08 and Conference 2008.

18 November - 2-5pm at the London Jewish Cultural Centre (LJCC), Ivy House, 94-96 North End Road, London NW11 7SX

- Meet other volunteers over a few bagels
- Essential for Conference 2007 volunteers to get plans for the next few weeks and for Conference itself
- Perfect opportunity for anyone who doesn't have a role but who is interested in helping at Conference 2007
- Find out about joining the teams for Fest08 and Conference 2008

ME KNOWING YOU, YOU KNOWING ME

Want to know who's who among the volunteers? They want to know you as well. It's often hard to keep track of what everyone's up to.

We'd like to to post a list online of everyone who's helping this event happen - just your name and team, no contact information.

If you are happy to have your name published as one of the people who's contributed to the event, then do nothing. If you would rather not have your name online, then please let me know by Friday 2 November.

The same list will be included in our handbook by way of thank you.

KNOWING - GROWING

1,300 applicants.

Please apply if you haven't so far. We're earmarking some financial assistance for volunteers - it's so important that after all this work the cost doesn't prevent any of us from being there. If you want to talk it through then please call me directly or the office.

KNOWING PROGRAMMING

By now, sessions should be in and this week the scheduling starts ... if you're late, get a move on!
