Volunteers needed for World Stamp Show-NY 2016

More than 125 people have signed up to serve as volunteers at World Stamp Show-NY 2016, but many more are needed, according to Mark Butterline, the show’s volunteer chairman.

WSS-NY 2016 will take place May 28-June 4 in New York City at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, 655 W. 34th St. (at 12th Avenue).

Butterline estimated that about 500 volunteers are needed, adding that approximately that number served at the last international exhibition in United States, held in 2006 in Washington, D.C.
