We have a list of about 15+ volunteers for this program. There
will be a kids “korner” where KU students will be assisting
children in “recycled” art projects. There is a committee for
security, advertising, the clean up walk, and set-up and clean up.
Currently there are 4 students interested in the kid’s korner, 4
students interested in the security/safety committee, and 2
students interested in the advertising. Currently the
Environmental Club will be sponsoring the walk and The ArtEducation Club volunteers once the information gets to the clubs
specifically. We do not have the exact number of volunteers at
this time from those clubs.
T-shirts from Mission T’s have been ordered for volunteers. They
say OCAC on the front and Volunteer on the back. They are
fluorescent yellow and ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST WEAR THEM.
The Kutztown Bookstore will have a table and we will be giving
away free pencils etc from KU. The Women’s Center, Bamboula,
and the other local agencies will be setting up a table with
information and products from their businesses. SPUDS recently
offered 25 cent hot dogs as well. We will have 4 walkie talkies

OCAC to use for fundraising (borrowed from ACE). A new
freshman volunteer group called Care Bears have also
