Join us at the pre-conference community project
June 1st, 2009 by Stacey Thornberry
You still have time to sign up for the pre-conference community project on Saturday, 6 June. Join us in helping improve the quality of life in San Francisco with a beach clean-up day.
In partnership with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, we’ll clean up part of California’s coast. Be prepared to sift through sand to find broken glass, remove trash and sweep stairs for safety. Restoring one of the city’s most popular beaches provides safe and clean recreational areas for residents and visitors to enjoy and helps preserve these precious resources for future generations.
Online registration for this volunteer project is open. The registration fee for this event is US$55, which covers transportation from the hotel and a boxed lunch. Registration will close on Friday, 5 June at 5 p.m. Pacific Time.
Join volunteers and IABC staff to participate in this rewarding project and help make a difference to the community.
(On a personal note, I’m coordinating this volunteer project, so if you’ve been wanting to meet the administrator of InSession, this is the perfect opportunity.)
