To those who were able to volunteer at the Grand Excursion: THANK YOU!!! I know it was hectic and there were problems with logistics, and want all to know how much efforts were appreciated. If you have feedback or didn't get T-shirt, etc. as promised, contact Linda Zelig at 651/298-0441 or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'd like to take this opportunity to say how much impressed I am by the spirit of service at Ramsey County. Of all the entities I connected with, the response from Ramsey County employees was tremendous! Kudos! I came away from the experience with a very good feeling about where I chose to live and raise my family. Very satisfying. Thought all should know. I hadn't intended to get into the business of volunteer recruitment, but NEAT is working to support voter registration and Roxy Foster, Chair of our Strengthening Parent Groups committee asked me to post and pass this on. Volunteer opportunity: Voter registration and education at Rondo Days! 7/17/2004 - 7/18/2004 The Rondo Days Festival reunites the African American neighborhood that was divided by the construction of Interstate 94. Dunning Field (Marshall and Griggs in St. Paulânext to 1221 Marshall) Posted at http://www.stpaulneat.org/8Jul2004.html Those in corporate/government unit/nonprofit environments can you pass on to staff/constituents? You'll probably want to take the text from the Web page, not this e-mail. Thanks much! ALSO, NEAT needs a board secretary and volunteers to support new standing committees: Programming Legislative Task Force Fundraising Finance Communications Strengthening Parent Groups Please give me a call if you'd be interested in getting involved in NEAT.

Rondo Education Center Red Atrium, 560 Concordia Avenue enter yellow doors. This is probably a ONE TIME e-mail (I'm mixing metaphors Grand Excursion/other community volunteer activities). Please let me know if you would like to be added to either the NEAT e-list or to a "general volunteer" e-list I should probably start. Also, if you like doing this sort of thing, you might want to check out the Annual Calendar at http://communityservices.spps.org/index.asp?Type=B_LIST&SEC={67CDB9E5-06BD-4BA 2-8903-0BC834A59D14} Wander around the "Out & About" section of the site and let me know what you think. --Jennifer Armstrong, President NEAT - the St. Paul Network of Education Action Teams 651/774-2957 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.stpaulneat.org NEAT engages, strengthens and empowers all St. Paul public school parents, parent organizations and community members working together to improve public education in St. Paul. _____________________________________________ To Join: St. Paul Issues Forum Rules Discussion Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _____________________________________________ NEW ADDRESS FOR LIST: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, modify subscription, or get your password - visit: http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/listinfo/stpaul Archive Address: http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/private/stpaul/
