Hi Cindy,I think the form to become a volunteer is different for folks who don't qualify to be bookshare users. That's why you and Jamie had to jump through hoops to volunteer. And we are all hugely appreciative that you did jump through those hoops.

Wow!! Either the form has changed since I singed up or there are different forms for members and nonmembers. Jamie, was the form you filled out like that? I think I had to answer questions about my background, i.e., what in it would qualify me, and write a paragraph explaining why I wanted to volunteer. There were other questions I don't remember.
