San Francisco Vegetarian Society volunteer party

[Guest guest]

San Francisco Vegetarian Society

Reminder for our Volunteer Orientation Dinner Party - it's this Friday!

 

Wanted to remind you that the World Veg Festival Volunteer Orientation

dinner meeting is this coming Friday, September 19th, 6:30 p.m., at

the Institute on Aging, 3600 Geary, between Arguello and Palm. The

plan is for you to check out the volunteer jobs that are still

available (and there are many!), sign up for those you want to do,

have dinner, and then we'll have a brief orientation about the event

and answer any questions you may have. We'll plan to end the meeting

as close to 8:00 p.m. as possible. Please come if you can. But if

you can't, we still want and need your help. Contact Nancy Loewen,

Volunteer Coordinator, at njloewen or at (415) 750-0614.

See you Friday! Nancy
