Community Service Opportunity

Hey Everyone!
I spoke with someone from La Raza and they could use our help next Saturday.
That is the 24th! We would have to go to the Auraria Campus and the hours would
be 7 to 4! There are going to be a number of things for us to help with for
example: Registration, workshop monitoring, security, education fair, evaluation
and distributing lunch! Please let me know if you are available to help and if you
are interested ASAP! I was supposed to have the list of people for her today but I
did not receive this information until today and I knew that everyone would need it
before committing! If you could help it would be a great opportunity and I think it
could be really fun! Please reply either tonight or early tomorrow!
Thank you,
Nicole Sandoval
