[Seattle Go Center] Outreach coming up -- seeking volunteers

Hello Go folks,

Spring is around the corner, and some of our major annual outreach events are coming up. Outreach is an important part of our activities -- it's how we inform people of the existence of our game, and get new players.

With as many members as the Go Center has, we should be able to share the load of teaching newcomers. Street fairs and cultural festivals are an especially fun place to do it. High school students -- if you need community service hours, this is a fun way to earn them; and a good way to demonstrate your commitment to Go, if you're interested in AGF scholarships (see http://agfgo.org/pages/scholarships.php for info). So everyone, please send email to programs@SeattleGo.org to volunteer!
