Looking forward to CONSAL

Now it's official. I'm going to be part of the Reception and Hospitality Committee for the forthcoming Conference of Southeast Asian Librarians to be held at the EDSA Shangri-la Hotel in Mandaluyong from March 25-30, 2006.

My job: meet and greet arriving members of the CONSAL Executive Committee, speakers, and participants at the airport. I won't do it alone, of course. I'll be with fellow volunteers to do round d'clock waiting. I will be bearing the placard so our guests won't get lost at the airport and show them to the car that will bring them to the hotel.

But contrary to conventional wisdom, we in the committee and the volunteers are not entitled to free registration at the conference.
