MCE is a large effort that starts in February with an MCE Committee. On the day of MCE, we need volunteers to staff rooms, tables, setup, takedown, etc.

If you have a few hours to spare on a Saturday in October, we would appreciate your help with MCE and receive a nifty gift. Plus, know you are supporting a great event and an all volunteer Users Group!

Let us know if you can volunteer by sending a message to volunteer@ncmug.org
