Volunteer Opportunities In Contra Costa County

Guitars Not Guns, Inc.(GNG) In Contra Costa County has grown immensely and now needs your help more than ever.  It is only an hour a week for you but it could be a life changing experience for your students.

Here's where the Contra Costa County Chapter presently needs your help:

ANTIOCH DELTA BLUES FESTIVAL
GNG has a booth at this yearly event where it raises a significant amount of funds, displays its accomplishments, sells merchandise and raffle tickets and sign up new volunteers. The organizers are big supporters of GNG.  This year the festival is on Sat. Sept. 17, 2011,  We immediately need volunteers to help the festival organizers post posters.  If you can help post them in your area, please contact Frank Giovanni at frank@deltabluesfestival.net  and arrange to get some from him and post them in your neighborhood!  They're awesome!

We also need a few volunteers at the Festival for the GNG Booth on the day of the show.  Please contact Randall Davis at RSDavisesq@gmail.com or Barbara Gorin at guitarsnotgunsbarbara@gmail.com if you are interested in helping out.
