Sunday, Sept. 7, 2008 10 a.m. Sloans Lake (25th & Sheridan) We need your help to put on a fun, fund-raising event for the Rocky Mountain Masonry Foundation. The Run Around the Block 5K will be at Sloan’s Lake on Sunday, Sept. 7. This USATF certified course will require a crew to setup and run the event. We have crew positions for people who like to get up early, people who want to volunteer and run the race, and for people who prefer to wander in later and finish up the job. 7:30 a.m. Set-up Crew: Your job would be to set up the race course - this involves putting up signs, setting out traffic cones, marking hazards, and unloading vehicles. We need one crew head and about a dozen workers. This is a good job if you want to run the race as well! 8: 30 a.m. Water station Crew: Your job would be to set up the water station, hand water to the runners and pick up the cups they throw on the ground. It’s a fast paced job, you might get wet, and you will get a good view of the race from mile 1.5. We need one crew head and two or three workers. 8:30 a.m. Start/Finish Crew: Your job is to set up and man the chutes. At the start of the race you will be helping keep the runners & walkers in their respective areas and making sure every one gets off to a good race. A fast 20 minutes later you will be taking the bib tags from the runners as they start crossing the finish line. We need a crew head and about three workers. We also need a data entry guru to get the race times in the computer as fast as possible. 9 a.m. Course Marshalls: Your job is to direct traffic at specific points along the race route. You’ll be keeping the runners safe from bicyclists and dog-walkers, and making sure the runners don’t take a wrong turn. We need a crew head and about four workers. 11 a.m. Clean Up Crew: Runners are messy! Water bottles, race bibs, stuff from goodie bags, cups, and more will be strewn every where. Your job is to pick up the trash, take down the signs, pick up the traffic cones and get the park back in the condition it was when we arrived. We need a crew head and about a dozen people for this job. This is a good job to pick if you want to run the race! We look forward to seeing you Sunday, Sept. 7, 2008 at 10 a.m. at Sloan’s Lake for the Run Around the Block 5K, awards ceremony and post-race expo. Thank you in advance for your participation, Nancy Partridge, Chris Walters Race Director Race Volunteer Coordinator Location: Sloan's Lake it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests ]]>

For this camp we will need very motivated volunteers who really want to get involved with the work of protection of the turtle. There are also some extra activities to do with the local people - to help improve the town like putting names of the streets, helping to arrange a multi-use playground and maybe some cleaning work. The official language of the workcamp is English. Some Spanish would be appreciated.

<![CDATA[I am a 26-year old guy named Cameron who is sick of the murderous activity that is taking place with every abortion in this country. Last time I checked we were a country who was one nation under God. Our forefathers asked God for help when we fought for our freedom, and we won it. Just recently, it was said that we couldn't get 76,000 signatures for the personhood amendment, and we got 130,000 or so. Now, I am trying to raise 1 million dollars to put an end to abortion. I'm sure there will be a lot of people who say that I won't be able to do it. But Ephesians 4:13 says 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me'. So because of my calling, I need volunteers to donate anything they can. If you would be so kind as to take part in this you can email us your phone number. My wife or I will call you back as soon as we can. godslittlegirl65@yahoo.com. Thank you once again for your time. ]]>

<![CDATA[The Need - Our non-profit is in need of a seasoned and talented Layout Editor to help us redesign our paper-based Volunteer Handbook. This 100-page MS Word document has fantastic content but its format/layout is horrific. As a result, it is currently very ineffective as a useful learning tool. The Gig - Get a big deposit in your kharma bank by helping us redesign this important paper-based MS Word document for our agency. The goal of this project is to take our current Volunteer Handbook and reformat it to create an intuitively laid-out and extremely readable document. It is likely that this layout project will involve: - Re-ordering content to create more organized sections. - Standardizing the page layout with fonts, formats, margins, etc to create a more appealing layout. - Create a table of contents, index and 'chapter' format that allows for quick access to the information beign sought. This is not a graphics project, as our 100 page document is almost exclusively text. Our goal is to have the document complete by January 2009. This job will be able to be conducted remotely and at your leisure. The Process - This is a NON-PAID position. If you are in a position to volunteer for this project and have significant layout/editorial experience, please send a resume and samples of your work to layouteditor@bigcitymountaineers.org for consideration.

<![CDATA[The climate crisis we find ourselves in leaves no time for indecision. The science is clear. The time for bold climate action is NOW. Here at 1Sky, we’re ready to mobilize a broad base of support across all sectors and communities in this country. We're not stopping until we see the change in federal policy we need, and to win this fight, everyone needs to get involved. As a battleground state, Colorado poses a unique opportunity to influence the presidential candidates to take strong stances on global warming, which will set the stage to pass the bold federal climate legislation that science and equity demand. We will work to demand green jobs, put a stop to new coal plants, invest in renewable energy and start to reduce our emissions 20% by 2020. We are looking for motivated people to volunteer in these areas: Recruitment Drive, Grassroots Pressure, Political Analysis, Media Visibility, and Events Coordination. Be an essential part of our growing team in Denver. 1Sky is an intentionally collaborative campaign designed to tap the collective power of a diverse set of allies determined to push for a bold shift in federal climate policy.

The Isan is also one of the regions of Thailand where traditions are preserved and respected; the Isan culture is influenced by Laos and Lao culture. This influence is represented in their special cooking, handicrafts, music and dance and on the typical Muay Thai Boxing. The Bo Pan Khan site dates back to the bronze era, when it was a main economic centre of the region due to the rock salt that could be found in the soil. Nowadays, the site is virtually abandoned despite efforts of the Thai government in the 90-ies to attract local tourists. Bo Pan Khan is surrounded by water, which is now filled with riverweed. Environmental and social is the main work of the project. The volunteers will work at Bo Pan Khan to help cutting the riverweed and cleaning around the area, and planting trees or flowers in the garden. The volunteers will also discover the typical Isan culture and traditions, visiting villagers, farmers and local artisans, helping them in their tasks occasionally. Study theme: The volunteers will learn about the culture of rural Thailand in general and the traditions and specificity of the Isan region. Thai language lessons will also be given to the volunteers. Project language: English Location: The Denrat sub-district area is about 8 km far from Nong Hi, 25 km far from Panomprai city and 95 km of Roi–Et city, in the Isan region, North east of Thailand.
