I was just checking out the hands on northeast georgia website to see what projects that have coming up and I stumbled upon something that Chris in 5990 had mentioned earlier this week. The Athens Farmers Market needs people to help them out this Saturday with what I'm assuming is a sale. So if you don't have any plans on Saturday or if you just want to check out what is going on with local Athens Farmers and sustainability (a very important word lately), you should check it out! If you want to volunteer here are the shifts:
Setting Up: 6:30am-8:00am [3 volunteers needed]
Greeting: 8:00am-12:00pm, one hour shifts [1 volunteer per shift]
Breaking Down: 12:00pm-1:30pm [3 volunteers needed]
It's a little early, especially for 5990 that have to get up early for class everyday anyways. But it is being hosted by P.L.A.C.E, which is a group that has just been brought to my attention this week, but it sounds like a great organization. If you're interested this would be a great event to get your foot in the proverbial door, so to speak.
If you DO want to volunteer, go to handsonnortheastgeorgia.com and sign up, then go to the calendar for tomorrow (may 23rd) and register. It's that easy! Have fun guys!

Wow...that would have been fun. It's too bad I missed it :(
ReplyDeleteI was introduced to Hands on Northeast Georgia by a Clarke County Commissioner who came to my journalism class a few months ago. It's such a great organization. While students are attending UGA, Athens is their home, and it is so important to give back to the Athens community!
