Volunteer Volunteers! The Friends of the Black Rock need your help. We have several volunteer projects planned for the year, but aside from the one or two day projects out here in the desert, there are other on-going projects-- even some in your local area-- where we really need some help. Friends of Black Rock Brochure distribution program: As part of our outreach efforts to get more people involved with Friends of Black Rock, we have made arrangements with many businesses in Sparks and Reno to post flyers and set up small counter-top displays at their locations. These displays hold our tri-fold brochure, which contains important information about how to contact us and get involved with the organization. We need a small group of volunteers to donate an hour or two every two weeks to stop in and check on these displays, and stock them with more brochures as needed. Any help you could offer with this project would be greatly appreciated, as currently one of us must travel into Reno from Gerlach and personally check all of the locations, sometimes only to find out that no more flyers are needed. This is a key outreach program for our organization, and the type of volunteer project that would be fairly easy for a small group of people who lived in Reno to take care of with minimal commitment of time and effort per week. Also, any of the travel can be reimbursed via mileage at the standard rate per mile, just save your receipts and send them to us. Here is the current list of locations where we have displays. If you are interested in helping out with this project, please take a look at this list to figure out which are the most convenient for you and how many you could cover. We are now using the Black Rock International Burner Hostel in Reno as a staging area for the brochure project, thanks to Friends member Fred Hagemeister. This makes it easier for us to provide you the flyers locally, and makes it easier for you to access them at your leisure. The location of the hostel is: 1350 Breaker Way, Sparks. Please contact crow via e-mail if you are interested in helping out with this project: info@blackrockdesert.org Visitor Contact Trailer: This is a cooperative effort between the Friends of Black Rock and the BLM. Friends of Black Rock has a contract with the BLM to staff their Visitor Contact Trailer and provide information to people coming and going from the Black Rock NCA. We need to staff this trailer from March 28th through October 12, and we are going to need a lot of volunteers to help keep this local resource open throughout that time period. If you have not volunteered to work on this project before, we really need your help, and will offer a brief training to bring you up to speed. For more information or to sign up, please go here and click "Volunteer Now" or contact Crow via e-mail: info@blackrockdesert.org If you are interested in volunteering for some shifts in the Visitor Contact Trailer, please contact crow via e-mail: info@blackrockdesert.org Reno Volunteer Coordination Team: This is a new project we would like to try out. As the new Volunteer Coordinator for Friends of the Black Rock, it is becoming immediately apparent that this is a huge job, and we could definitely use some help in Reno organizing local resources there and helping to build a volunteer base. We are looking for anywhere from 1 to 7 people to help out in this regard. If you have some free time, a desire to work with Friends of Black Rock, good organizational skills, and/or capable of locating, managing, motivating and/or recruiting volunteers in the Reno (or Tahoe) area, please contact crow: info@blackrockdesert.org Documents: If you experencing difficulty in loading the pdf files shown below into your web browser, please right-click (or control-click) on the link and then save-file-as and then open the pdf file directly in your pdf viewing application. |
