[Seattle Go Center] Sakura Con April 3-5 Volunteers

12:51 PM |

Dear Go Players,

Once again, we will be teaching and sharing the game of Go at the Sakura-Con, which is happening this year on Friday - Sunday, April 3-5. The Con is an amazing gathering of Japanese anime and manga fans, many of them in costume, at the Washington Visitor and Trade Center. Here is their website:

You do not need a pass to reach the room where we teach. But our best volunteers do get passes for the rest of the convention. We usually play teaching games on the 9x9 and 13x13, since many of the visitors to our room already know some Go.

If you can volunteer at least 4 hours, and would like a pass to the full Sakura Con, please contact me at manager@seattlego.org. Since this is a very popular privilege, priority will be given to volunteers who commit to helping at one of our other outreach events (such as the Cherry Blossom Festival, April 24-26, and the UDistrict Street Festival, May 16-17). We need the names of volunteers who want passes by this Friday, March 20. Please tell me when you think you will be coming. (You can adjust your schedule later, if things change.) Once again, you do not need the pass to reach our room, if you just want to volunteer, or to watch the costumed crowds on the escalator.

Our hours will be as follows:

Friday, March 29, 10 AM to 10 PM (or later, if we have the volunteers)

Saturday, March 30, 10 AM to 10 PM (or later, if we have the volunteers)

Sunday, March 31, 10 AM to 4 PM (Moving stuff to Go Center 4-6 PM)

Please note that this weekend also has the Easter holiday, so watch out for schedule conflicts.

Regards,

Brian
