Hey guys!<br><br>I'm getting in pretty early on the 26th, so I could help set up the exhibition. I don't mind giving Heather a break once in a while either - will we have some kind of schedule you think? I'm up for helping with drink tickets for part of the nite too, and handing out buttons, obviously. :) Just let me know where and when I'm needed. <br>
<br>If there happens to be a Neuro Bureau 3D logo in the works, could you let us know? The NYU group is submitting all of our posters for printing on Monday (6/20). Thanks!<br><br>Looking forward to it! <br><br>-Chrissie<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Yes- fabulous plans! :)<br>
<br>
I can help judge, hand out buttons, and help to relieve Heather at the exhibition whenever I can (thanks, Heather, for volunteering so much of your time!)<br>
<br>
Cheerios,<br>

>> (<a href="http://www.nitrc.org/plugins/mwiki/index.php/neurobureau:StereoImages" target="_blank">http://www.nitrc.org/plugins/mwiki/index.php/neurobureau:StereoImages</a>). If<br>

>> We are very excited about all of these initiatives, and have come a long way<br>

>> 1. We need people to help setup and tear down the art exhibition. We are<br>

>> party will probably be one of the busiest time for the exhibition.<br>
>> Additionally, each night we will need to move the art pieces into a secured<br>
>> room. Heather Schafer (my sister and TNB legal council) has graciously<br>
>> volunteered to woman the exhibition during most of the conference. But we<br>
>> hope that other members will have a presence at the exhibition during other<br>
>> times. Bring over your friends and colleagues! Also we need volunteers to<br>
>> give Heather a break every once in a while.<br>
>> 2. We need volunteers to judge submissions. Daniel, Pierre, and I have been<br>
>> receiving the submissions, so it will probably be best if other people judge<br>
>> them. This will allow the judging to take place anonymously.<br>
>> 3. We need volunteers to help make sure the party runs smoothly. We will be<br>
>> handing out drink tickets by the door. While I am will to do this for part<br>
>> of the night, I am hoping that we can split this up amongst different<br>
>> members of the bureau.<br>
>> 4. We need you to add stereoscopic images to your posters and to encourage<br>
>> others to do the same. We want this effort to be successful. There will be<br>

>> 5. We will provide each one of you with some buttons, please hand them out!<br>
>> HBM is one of the best marketing opportunities for the Bureau.<br>
