June: Volunteer scheduling begins! Based on the result of the assignment process you will be scheduled into a volunteer job.
July: Training and orientation begins. I will keep you informed over the coming months, as these sessions get closer.

Hi Jill;
I have been asked by the Hungarian team to help them again for the Worlds in the capacity of their translator/co-ordinator. Is there anything special that I should know about this time around? I looked after them in 97 as well.
Frank Garner suggested some months ago that I contact you regarding this, so that you are aware.
Thanks and kind regards
Aniko Dunford
Aniko, I think you should be contacting Mary Hart-Baker. She called Charlie over the weekend and I gae her your name, but she seemed unaware that you existed.
