Urgent Action: STANDing on the National Day of Service
Submitted by chill on 13 January 2009 - 2:37am.
Contact your Outreach Coordinator today to sign up to host an event for the Presidential Inaugural Committee's National Day of Service!
On January 19, organizations all across the country will be hosting events for the National Day of Service. STAND has been asked by the Presidential Inaugural Commitee to participate on this historic day, and we need your help!
This is a great opportunity for STAND chapters to get national publicity and to start influencing the Obama administration to make Darfur a priority from Day One. In fact, every event we put together will be featured on the Presidential Inagurual Commitee website.
What can your chapter do?
Step 1: Contact your Outreach Coordinator to sign your chapter up for the event. The Outreach Coordinator will work with you on the details of the event. For your January 19th event to be officially recognized as a part of STAND's National Day of Service event, you MUST confirm with your Outreach Coordinator.
Step 2: Start planning. Book space and start getting the word out. You can be creative with the event, but, again, you must talk to your Outreach Coordinator for details.
Step 3: Host the event on January 19th. You'll be STANDing in solidarity with at least 20 other chapters across the country, and your efforts could be featured on the National Day of Service.
Time is running out, so act quickly!
