Dear Volunteers and Friends of SF Environment,

SF Environment, San Francisco's Environment Department, is looking for
volunteers to participate in San Francisco's first truly car-free
event – Sunday Streets (http://www.sundaystreetssf.com). Possible
volunteer duties include: traffic monitoring, setting up/taking down
street barricades/tables/booths, vendor/activity support, surveying,
garbage/recycling patrol. The goal is to bring physical activity space
to our neighborhoods and promote healthy living to thousands of local
kids and adults.

There will be two Sunday Streets events this summer - August 31 and
September 14, 2008, utilizing a stretch of roadway connecting the
Bayview to Chinatown and running along the city's waterfront.

Modeled after a 25-year old program in Bogotá, Columbia, the car-free
community space concept has spread to four continents and has proven
wildly popular from Tokyo (Japan), Mexico City (Mexico) to Kiev
(Ukraine) and more recently in our northwesterly neighbor Portland,
Oregon. The goal is to bring physical activity space to our
neighborhoods on Sunday mornings, creating a route for thousands of
local kids and adults to walk, jog, and bike, as well as participate
in group exercise. Sunday Streets will offer safe, free, and fun
activities and will attract people from throughout the entire San
Francisco Bay Area.

This is your opportunity to be a part of a phenomenal event and help
us in "greening" San Francisco. We are actively recruiting volunteers
for both dates. Volunteers will receive a Sunday Streets T-shirt,
meal and snacks as well as a goody bag. We will have additional gifts
for those highly dedicated individuals that volunteer for more than
one day. Please complete the attached volunteer form (also posted
below) and email to: sundaystreets@... Space is limited so
please submit form by Monday, August 4th.

We thank you for contributing your time to our home, our city, and our planet!

Peace,

Sunshine Swinford
