[Seattle Go Center] More vol: Thursdays; Sundays

Hello Go folks,

I have *even more* volunteer opportunities for you -- now with added aji!

Thursdays
Thank you, Michael Brown, for your months of service on Thursdays; and good luck in your new job!
We are in need of a volunteer to be Day Manager on Thursday afternoons. Currently we're open from 2 PM to 9 PM, and we need someone to take over the first half. This is a little flexible -- for example, if you reliably can start at 1 PM, or can't start until 3 PM, we can accommodate that.
Thursdays are usually not too demanding. Your responsibilities would be to open the Go Center, tidy up a little (about 5 - 10 minutes), greet any visitors and sign them up for a ten-visits card and the mailing list if they're new, facilitate any retail sales, and offer games / teach beginners as appropriate. For context, yesterday there were three visitors between 2 PM and 6 PM, all of whom were regulars. Which is not to say we never get newcomers on Thursdays -- we do; but usually, there's time for the Day Manager to study joseki or read "Treasure Chest Enigma".
Contact Mike -- programs@SeattleGo.org (or find me at the Go Center on a Tuesday) -- for more information, or to volunteer to perform this valuable service to the community.

Sundays
At the Salmon Bay Elementary School "Pi Day" event (thanks for the assist, Kyle!), a librarian from Shoreline Public Library invited us to teach the game of Go at their monthly "Games Day". Currently, four are scheduled, but the first one is on Mothers' Day, which in my experience has not proven to be a good day for Go activities.
So I'll be going on June 11, and I'd like to bring a volunteer who could also attend July 7 and August 4. (Note that those are monthly ratings tournament days.)
Teaching kids and families is probably our best way of finding new players -- ask Chris Kirschner sometime how he learned, it's a wild story. So for more information, or to volunteer to perform this valuable service to the community, please contact Mike -- programs@sEATTLEgO.org (or talk to me on a Tuesday at the Go Center).

See you soon at the Go Center,

Mike Malveaux

PS -- We had some volunteers who offered to help with outdoor chores once the weather started getting nicer. I'll be in touch soon to set that up.

PPS -- How many beginners does it take to change a lightbulb?

(They can't, because they don't see the ladder.)
(I know I used that one already. I ran out of Go jokes a long time ago, so if you have some, send them my way!)
