OPIRG request for volunteers

Here is an event you all might be interested in. They are also asking for volunteers so if your available to volunteer just email the coordinator Danielle.

This January 26 & 27 OPIRG-Windsor is hosting the
Western Ontario Public Interest School at Vanier Hall, University of Windsor.
Full details will follow in the New Year together with registration
information.

This is a two day conference entitled "Conscious Change" which will feature
workshops on various social justice and environmental issues.
On Saturday,
January 26 the keynote speaker is Libby Davies, Member of Parliament for
Vancouver East, who will be speaking on "Harm Reduction" as a sensible policy as
opposed to the "war on drugs."

On Sunday, January 27 the keynote speaker is Howard Pawley, Adjunct
Professor of Political Science and Social Justice Person of the Year 2002-2003
at the University of Windsor. Pawley is the former Premier of Manitoba and will
be speaking on " Activism as a Way of Life."

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS to help with a number of tasks
including promotion, logistics, cooking, registration and staffing on the
weekend itself. Volunteers will receive free registration.
We also need
people to provide billeting for members of other PIRGs (Waterloo, Guelph,
McMaster, etc.) who will be coming to the conference.

If you can help please
email
me
