Dear CMWC Organizers, My name is Matthew Gehrke, and I would like to volunteer to be a translator for CMWC Tokyo. I'm working as an English teacher in rural Miyagi, but before coming to Japan I lived as a messenger in Vancouver, Canada. Although my Japanese is pretty poor, as I majored in Japanese at university I have a bit of experience doing Japanese to English translations. If Ｉ could be of use I would love to get involved with preparations for the event. I'm planning on being there in September to watch as well. As for the information already online, I will include my version oｆ a translation, if you wish to use it please do so freely. Matthew Gehrke matthew_gehrke@hotmail.com CMWCのオーガナイザー達へ， ＣＭＷＣ東京のために翻訳者としてボランティアしたいマシュー・ガーキと申します。今宮城県で英語教師として働いていますが，日本に来る前にカナダのバンクーバーでメッセンジャーとして生活していました。日本語が結構下手ですが，大学で日本語を専攻していたので和英翻訳の経験が少しあります。私が役に立ったら，イベントの準備に参加させていただきたいと思っております。九月イベントを見に行く予定もあります。もう出たオンラインの情報は，私の翻訳したバージョンを差し出しますが，もしよろしければどうぞお使いになってください。 マシュー・ガーキ matthew_gehrke@hotmail.com
