The Cafe Advisory Panel exists to represent the members of the Cafe in
a number of different ways, and as such requires a number of people
to host the CAP forum for housekeeping, moderating, and to organise
requests to managment.

If you have some spare time and would like to participate as a host in
the forum for members' voices, please email chiles@utne.com and
have your name posted on our list of volunteers.   The list is public and
can be found in the Volunteer! topic in the CAP forum.

Thanks in advance for your willingness to help with the nuts and bolts of
providing Cafe members with a voice.
