Y'all know you want to help out with Spark, right? Especially since
apparently we're at risk of repeating the Committee of Public Safety.
> Are you interested in volunteering? Free food? Looking important?
>
> Then you should do Security for Spark! On March 13, about 120 MIT
> students will teach over 230 classes to over 900 high school
> students. You have a chance to be a part of it, with only a couple
> hours of your time.
>
> We're emailing out because WE NEED VOLUNTEERS. As you can guess,
> Spark takes a lot of manpower to run, so we're asking for your help.
> For Security, you can work in 2-hour shifts, anytime from 7:30am to
> 10:30pm on that Saturday.
>
> As a volunteer you get...
> * A free t-shirt
> * Free breakfast, lunch and/or dinner
> * A top hat!
> * Our unending love and gratitude
>
> Alternatively (or additionally!), you can sign up to help with
> Morning Check-In, when we try to shepherd about 700 students through
> Lobby 13 in an hour. You'll need to show up at 7:15am and stay until
> around 9:30am; we'll have breakfast and a T-shirt for you when you
> get there and a meal if you stick around until lunch.

> * To sign up for Security go to

> * To sign up for Morning Check-In, email spark-morning-reg@mit.edu

> PLEASE help us out! We are short on volunteers and would appreciate

Hey everyone,
Currently, I have 18 people signed up to do security. THIS IS NOT
ENOUGH! We need need need more people to do security at Spark,
especially since, as we sort of predicted, we have way too many
students. If we don't have security, Spark will devolve into a riot and
the students will lead a Reign of Terror headed by a 7th-grade
Robespierre. They will storm the Bush Room and tear it brick from brick,
then arrest all the admins they can find. Don't let us get guillotined!
Vive le roi!
So anyway, get your friends to sign up. It's easy! Volunteers should go
to http://esp.mit.edu/volunteer/security.html.
Exaggeratingly yours,
Chris
