Please...we need several people to volunteer. There are many chairs to be picked up. If available to help, please leave your name at the GFO desk, (503) 963-1932 or respond to Laurel at the above address. [If you received two copies of this, I'm sorry. I sent this previously, but there was an attachment and I don't believe the maillist allows attachments. The email doesn't appear to have been delivered.]] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laurel Smith" < bearpair@comcast.net > To: "Cathy Lauer" < catlauer@comcast.net > Sent: Wednesday, August 8, 2012 10:40:31 AM Subject: Volunteer request Hi Cathy, I have a two specific volunteer opportunities and need all the volunteers you can enlist. 1. Next Wednesday, August 15 th , at 9:00 am. As many people as possible to help move (donated) chairs like the one pictured from a business located between 1 st and 2 nd on SW Pine in downtown Portland. This will involve getting them down a flight of stairs and out a long corridor to waiting vehicles, then delivering them to the GFO. If we have enough hands on deck we can form a bit of a fire line to avoid having to go up and down the stairs carrying them. Please, please, if you can spare an hour or so your help is very much needed. The chairs are a little heavy and are VERY dirty, which leads me to the second volunteer opportunity. 2. After the chairs are delivered to the GFO, volunteers who are not afraid of getting dirty are needed to help wash these chairs. The surfaces are textured, so it takes a bit of effort, so again, the more the merrier! Many hands make light work. Laurel Smith President Genealogical Forum of Oregon
