[SfN] Helping out in Chicago 10/10

[Jim Buell]

Those of us from C-U who are going up to the Super-Rally have a chance to 
help out at the event! Josh, a volunteer coordinator in the Chicago office, 
asked if some of us could assist with bucket passing to collect 
contributions during the rally. This may or may not be possible since our 
bus will likely be arriving about 7 p.m., but I told him I'd spread the 
word and give folks a chance to volunteer.

If some of us on these lists are driving up and will be at the rally 
earlier in the evening, you're also welcome to volunteer - you can call the 
state Nader office (toll-free - 1-866-NADER-4U) to set things up. They're 
especially hoping for people who can come to a 4 p.m. orientation session.

BTW, the link in the message below would make a neat flyer:
