Talking with Anne McCaffrey from NWC16
It’s 1993, Norwescon 16, and the Special Guest of Honor will not be able to attend the convention due to health reasons. What to do? Why, travel to Ireland with portable VHS cameras, of course!

Securely store and correctly return to the appropriate person anything (within reason) stored by members of the convention.

The Member Services, Business, and Secretary teams have developed a streamlined process for staff registration, and want to keep all of you in the loop.
