[Rfu-barnraising] Re: Volunteer Needs for the WRFU Barnraising

[Kate Protagonist]

Just a quick amendment--we'll plug in volunteers during the barnraising
around workshops, so the shifts for registration and food preparation and
clean up will work around the workshop schedule--more like 2 hour shifts,
although 4 hours is certainly encouraged!

since meal preps are happening offsite, we'll need quite a few people,
including local drivers, to pitch in with transporting and making food--

We'll also need local drivers especially to be on shift/on call through
registration to make last minute runs to home depot, radio shack, etc!

Thanks Mike!  I get to urbana on sunday, and will help with volunteer
coordination and outreach.
