As many of you know, Altwheels, the alternative transportation
festival, is coming to Boston's City Hall Plaza on Sept. 28
and 29 [yes, Friday and Saturday]. However, quite a bit of
work is needed on the preceding two days, Sept. 26 and 27,
mostly the Thursday, decorating the Plaza and readying it for
incoming exhibitors. Lots of lifting and carrying, painting a
large colorful wheel in the middle, setting up props, deploying
tables/chairs and signage, and helping coordinate and implement
many other parts of load-in. People are also needed on-site
to help run things during the show itself, and of course
there's the teardown on the other end, late Saturday afternoon.
.
Since none of this REALLY happens by means of magic gnomes,
it means that Altwheels needs plenty of clueful hands! Please
come help out with one of the major shows right in your own
backyard -- visit http://altwheels.org/volunteer.html to sign
up and describe your skills, and Maxine and the rest of the
crew will be eternally grateful. And you'll be part of a
highly visible, large-scale effort to bring much-needed change
to the ways we get around.

I am too far away and not enough time but this is one of the better east coast events to attend. I'd recommend anyone within 'day trip' distance considering dropping in and if you can, lend a hand.
