info / action tables during the course of her tours.
They are great re-tweeting our tweets about us being there and thanking
them.
RN'R can have
2 volunteers
Volunteers arrive ~ 1 hour before doors open to the public to set up the
table (table is provided by the venue)
That staff the table and collect signatures on actions
Volunteers are required to do simple follow up and follow through
after the concert.
I need full names, email address, and phone # of each volunteer in
order to sign them up,
Transportation and parking are on you own.
If you can volunteer, send me (Angie) and email (or simply
"Reply" to this one), with:

address at which you can be reached.
More details will go to the volunteers about 10 days before their concert
dates, along w/ common actions we all use on the tour to have a stronger
voice. There will be room to add an action of your own.
If you are not available, please forward this on to other
responsible and reliable persons you know who may be able to
help.
