>> I used the link in your email to volunteer, but my email was rejected.  I am guessing when the Society asked you to email those on the VA ROOTS list, they were looking for people to join.

These volunteers are familiar with the light controls and monitor the lighting and sound levels. When you pick the lectures you want to monitor, list two alternatives in case your favorite has been taken.
