Folks,

Service Raleigh is still looking for projects in Raleigh for volunteers. Although their registration ‘officially’ closed on the 10^th, they will still take on additional projects. So if you have an idea in mind that will help your community, please go to their site (even if early next week) and let them know.

Thanks, Bill Padgett

13th Annual Service Raleigh: Saturday, March 27, 2010

RCAC leadership,

Following up on NCSU’s Service Raleigh discussed at the RCAC last evening:

Partner and Volunteer Registration for Service Raleigh is Open until Friday, March 5, 2010

Web Site:   http://www.serviceraleigh.org/

Email:        serviceraleigh@ncsu.edu

Service Raleigh each year offers us the opportunity to work together to improve our community. On March 27^th over 2000 Service Raleigh volunteers will come together to work on projects throughout Raleigh and they are now seeking Partners (that would be you) who will identify worthwhile projects within our community. In the past volunteers have planted 1000s of trees in our Parks and along our greenways (and will be planting ~400 trees this year in East Raleigh with Trees Across Raleigh), helped in maintenance of an historic cemetery, painted & insulated houses, installed low-flow devices in low income communities, cleaned streams & vacant lots, worked on school playgrounds … you get the idea. This is both a wonderful opportunity and a wonderful service for us to work together to enhance our community.

Partners would be expected to provide ‘the project’ including tools, equipment, special expertise (if needed) and coordination. Service Raleigh provides the volunteers. Don’t forget that the CACs do have some monetary resources that may be available for supplies, etc.

This is a wonderful service so please look around your community, schools, churches, open areas and be è creative! & partner with Service Raleigh.

Thanks, Bill
