Hi Stef,
I am very interested in serving as a technical helper for the
Computing help fairs. I just spoke with Carol and I believe it will
be a great experience. Please sign me up for Monday, 8/28 1-5 PM. I
will definitely want to attend the training session as my UVM
experience is limited (six months) and I am sure there is much that I
do not know.

> 2. Non-technical helpers to assist our CIT intake coordinator with handing
