Volunteers wanted and schedules for World Vegetarian Day

[Guest guest]

Dearest Volunteers,

 

Your services are greatly needed for the upcoming World

Vegetarian Day(s), September 30 and October 1, 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

(and later), at the San Francisco County Fair Building, 9th and

Lincoln, in the Golden Gate Park. Please see www.sfvs.org for a

detailed description of this wonderful vegetarian weekend. To make

it a true success, and to help create more vegetarians for our

world, your help is needed.

Please, oh please, volunteer!

 

(1) Specific jobs and times are listed below. If you wish to

choose a job and time now, please do so. Simply inform me, Nancy

Loewen, at nloewen; or phone me at (415) 750-0614.

 

(2) If you have questions and wish to wait to choose your volunteer

job at the Volunteer Orientation Meeting, please come to the meeting

this Thursday, September 14, 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m., to be held at the

Institute on Aging, 3600 Geary (between Arguello and Palm) in San

Francisco.

 

(3) Whether or not you choose a volunteer job now, please attend

the Volunteer Orientation Meeting if at all possible so that we can

give you as much information as possible about the event and about

your part in making it a big success.

 

(4) If you are unable to attend the Volunteer Orientation meeting,

you can still volunteer, of course! We will communicate by e-mail

about the details of your job.

 

(5) If you have friends or family or anyone else who you think

might like to volunteer, please send them our way. This year's

celebration is a two-day event, and we can't have too many

volunteers. THANKS, YOU GUYS, FOR HELPING!
