Volunteer in the GSA byelection
by Simon Neufeld 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

Hello again, I am asking you, begging you, to help me in this most crucial moment. We need people to work the polling stations during the election on October 17-19. I've got the schedule almost finished, but there are still some open spots that need filling. Please dig down into the depths of your generosity and consider whether you can sit at a table and stroke names off a list as people vote. There will always be two people at the polling station, so you will not be lonely. Volunteers will be given food to eat and will have another volunteer activity they can include on their resume. The following times are open if you'd like to do them: Wednesday October 17 3:30 PM to 7:00 PM Thursday October 18 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM Thanks, Simon.

Please email me if you would like to have this meeting. Thanks, Simon.
