In January, MAD will have the opportunity to take part in Mayor Newsom's SF Family Appreciation Day, a day when a majority of the San Francisco museums and tourist attractions will be open to residents of San Francisco for free! The big day is set for Sunday, January 7th. You can find all the details about this event (in three languages!) here.

We will be stationed, in groups of two to six people, at the various attractions participating in this event to help the adults there facilitate the event. Some of our tasks will include checking the people for SF residency (checking drivers' licenses, etc.), distributing/checking wristbands, and passing out programs. A list of all the museums and attractions that are participating in SF FAD 2007 is available on the downloadable flier, so be sure to download it and check it out! We do not have our specific location assignments yet, but I will try to keep all MAD volunteers within close proximity of each other.

This event is a long one - we will be working from 10 AM - 4:30 PM, so volunteers will receive 6.5 credits for this event. For helping out, all volunteers will receive a scrumptious on-site lunch and a mystery gift from the City of San Francisco!

If you are interested in volunteering at this event, please email us at makeadifferenceclub@gmail.com with SF FAD 2007 Volunteer in the subject line. We will not be doing sign-ups for this event at our next club meeting - you can only sign up for this event through email. Spaces are limited, and will be available on a first come first serve basis.

Include all the names and regs of the people you would like to work with at this event in your email - there may be no more than six volunteers per group. Only one email needs to be sent per group. If you do not include any preferred group members in your email, we will put you into a group at our discretion.

Please do reply to this email with your requests to sign up because replies are sent to my personal email address and while I have been accepting sign up requests sent to my personal email address in the past, all requests sent to the wrong email address will no longer be counted. If you send a sign up request to my personal email address, I will send you a reply directing you to send your requests to the right email address, but only the timestamp that is attached to the email sent to the correct email address will be counted.

The deadline to sign up for this event is Wednesday, December 13th at 8:00 PM, so don't hesitate to contact your friends and get your group together before it's too late!
