Architreasures Call for Volunteers

From Architreasures:
One opportunity involves helping us make mosaics (it could be a fun night or two with friends) at one or many community workshops, and the other would be assisting with one or more community events, including a scrap-booking & photography workshop, carnival, community dinner, and a "Talent Show."

For more information, go to: http://www.architreasures.org/volunteer.htm.

We could really use hands right now, so if you or anyone you know is interested, please let us know!
