If you'd like to write a testimonial please email it to me and I'll post it on the page.<br><br> For current information, meeting minutes, meeting times, and that type of thing there is a blog link on the page.

Come to Depot Town..JOIN THE FUN....SOMEBODY'S JUNK IS SOMEBODY'S TREASURE!<br>
</span><br><br><br><hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"><br>Hello!<br> <br>Greetings from The Jamboree, a locally based, family
friendly music festival hosted by The Depot Town Community Development
Corporation in Ypsilanti's Riverside Park. We will feature local and
regional music, art, food, and beer right here in our beautiful park,
and the DTCDC will use the funds generated in other community projects
around Ypsilanti. <br> <br>We are very excited to be hosting the
festival, but we will need the time and help from people like you to
make it a success. Please volunteer today! In return, you get
admission to the festival, a T-shirt, an invitation to the wrap party,
and the chance to do something that's both fun and good for the
community!<br> <br>We are currently in the promotion phase, which means
we need people to put up posters and pass out hand bills. If you are
going to any events where you feel you could pass out hand bills, or if
you travel to or work in an area where you can hang posters, please
contact us ASAP!<br> <br>The next phase will be setting up jobs at the
Jamboree proper. We will need people to do every thing form ticket
takers, help in the Community Records Kid's tent, trash collectors,
information givers, and ever thing else in-between. If you have ever
been to a music festival, you've seen the army it takes to make it
happen. We need you as part of our volunteer army!<br> <br> We do have a couple special needs right now, so please let us know if you specialize in any of these;<br> <br>Experienced
stage crew; If you know about stage production, lights, sound, any
sort of stage craft please let us know. We will need volunteer
help for the stage area, and we're trying to get the best available.<br> <br>Security;
We are looking for police, retired police, former military police,
security guards and any one with real life security and crowd control
experience. We want to make this a comfortable place for every one
attending, and that means getting people who know how to work with
crowds the right way.<br> <br>Please send me when you are available for
work (Thursday - Sunday, and what times) and the following info: name,
phone number, email, shirt size. This will help us to get our plans in
place<br> <br>Please send all of this information to;<br> <br>Andrew Clock<br>Volunteer Coordinator<br><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT148"><a href="mailto:andyypsilanti@hotmail.com" target="_blank"><font color="#0068cf">andyypsilanti@hotmail.com</font></a></span><br> <br> <br>Thanks again for all your help, and we'll see you at the Jamboree.<br> <br>Thanks,<br>Andy<br><hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"><br>Growing Hope sent out their email blast and there is a lot of good things in it, including<br>Get the email yourself by<a href="http://visitor.constantcontact.com/manage/optin/ea?v=001uV3jnccU8bYiOgl-fO84WQ%3D%3D"> clicking here</a><br><br><font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;" size="2" color="#000000" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br>Growing Hope needs volunteers for its <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT37"><a href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102645333641&s=2067&e=001bU06UxSxrG-i5DqkMBwIq13WSaCRpxM_uKf-XGjE5quWF-4gRutynwdQHxcCB1MysZnqC6JyFX5FuGuL1OOAbpmx3GdONXEAmWVCGvNSKzhpRa6FPW5A6pG-bKJswrc9RzuGAg80taO8wAP3MnIQl4_acnECRgcy" target="_blank">5th Annual Hope's Harvest</a></span> dinner
