Worldcons often have a difficult time tracking volunteer requests. I suggest writing to the Chairs (see the committee page (http://www.anticipationsf.ca/English/Committee) for contact information) rather than the volunteer address. Tell them what you just said above and also where you were interested in helping.

It has been my experience that the largest group of volunteers end up being recruited by personal contact, rather than through scatter-shot appeals, forms, or web sites. It's really not that much different than real-world jobs in that respect.

While as a former Worldcon chair myself, I don't like putting extra work on my successors, I also know that when I was doing my turn in the barrel, if there were people who were falling through the communication cracks, I would want to know about it.
