[CaTEACH-SMI] Volunteers Needed

WE NEED YOUR HELP; FOR THE FINAL TIME THIS ACADEMIC YEAR!!!

On Saturday, May 31st, 2008, the UCR MESA Schools Program will be 
hosting its End of the Year Event from 8:00am to 2:00pm. 
Approximately 200 - 300 students from local high schools will compete 
in various innovative science and engineering events.

For those of you that are familiar with our program, you can 
appreciate how important this competition can be for the students we 
serve. This is their opportunity to learn by doing, demonstrating 
their academic and technical expertise in the projects they complete 
and the events they engage in. The End of the Year Event is the 
culmination of all the work students did during the academic 
year.   There are only 3 competitions that students participate 
in.  It is not only an opportunity to validate their hard work, but 
also to stress the value of academics and design principles. Your 
help with this event will encourage and inspire these students and 
their families, and perhaps even propel them to pursue loftier goals 
in college and beyond.

We need volunteers from 7:00am to 3:00pm to assist with various 
logistics. Whatever assistance you can offer is appreciated.

In preparation for this MESA event, volunteers are asked to attend a 
Volunteer Information/Training Meetings on

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008
5:00pm to 6:00pm or 6:00pm to 7:00pm
Engineering Building Unit II Rooms 205 and 206

FOOD WILL BE SERVED. Anyone interested in serving as a volunteer for 
this MESA Event should RSVP for one of the two trainings by 
contacting Jevon Hunter at (951) 827-2887 or 
jhunter at engr.ucr.edu.  Please RSVP to confirm your attendance!!!  If 
you participated in our April 12th event, please indicate so in your RSVP.

Thank you in advance for your support.
