Wednesday, 9/8 *SERVICE* AX Reg Day
Alumni are invited to help out with Reg Day. Call the office

Saturday 10/23 *SERVICE* City Year Servathon.
What: City Year runs a youth "service corps" in Boston. As a fund
raising event each year they hold a Servathon. Its a lot like a
walkathon, people pledge money for hours of service. This means City
Year has to provide a day's worth of service work for thousands of
people. They do this by running a hundred or so projects similar to
our old Saturday Projects. This is where we come in. They need
people to oversee these projects and we are one of the few groups that
has experience. Various alumni have PCed over the last three years.
You don't have to find the project or find the man-power. What you do
have to do is go to one or two City Year pep talks/training sessions,
visit the site and make sure everything is under control, and
arrive at Boston Common at an ungodly hour of the morning. CY will
have a whole schedule of training sessions to choose from and I am
working with them to hold one at MIT so if you are interested let me
know your schedule.
I may be doing a phone calling for this so if you are *local please
RSVP* and save me some phone calling. Maybe is an acceptable response
at this stage. I want to get a list of interested people so I don't
have to disseminate details to everyone.
If you know someone with E-mail who did not receive this mailing and
would like to, please have them write me at "cline17.aol.com". If you
know someone who does not have E-mail but would like this information
please write me with their name. I will be addressing this issue in
the next few months.
