VOLUNTEERS

Note from the webmaster:

Brad is taking care of some urgent family matters currently. He may update this page before the event on April 26, 2008. Fortunately, many or us already "know the procedure". If you've been a letter captain or helped with setup before, your expertise is needed and appreciated. Please drop Brad an email and let him know that you plan to help and what you would like to do. The following message is from Brad's planning for Beach Impeach III, but should also apply to Beach Impeach V (I'll update it as things change, so please check back as the event nears):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beach Impeach V is going to take a lot of volunteers.

Mostly I’m going to need a lot of help on the day itself. I could scratch IMPEACH! into sand in my sleep in any size letters you want, but I’ve never “chalked” it. And this one might be our biggest yet. Plus we’re looking to “morph” the message, so…

If you can come early that day, please let me know. I’m planning to be at Crissy Field and hard at work by 9 a.m. I’ll need people who can hold stakes, run tape measures, and squirt chalk out of plastic containers in a straight line.

We’re going to need people to hand out flyers to arriving participants as well as to passersby who might want to join in.

I’ll need letter captains. (A few of you have been letter captains at both #1 and #2, and have developed an attachment to “your” letter -- don’t worry, it’s yours again if you want it -- just remind me please.) We’ve done the first two events on the fly, but this one might be a little more complicated with the larger “morphing” aspect, and I’ll probably want to do a little ‘coaching’ in advance, once the exact plans are designed.

We’ll need a team of people to manage our 300-space parking lot.

We will need people to police the permimeter to keep our chalk outlines from getting smudged.

People to keep an eye out for counter-protesters and point our hired Park Service personnel in the right direction if the protesters get out of hand.

Send me an email with “volunteer” in the subject line, and please include your phone #s, and I’ll get back to you ASAP.

Thanks!
