Calendar of Petitioning Events 2006

Shows festivals, concerts, races, and so forth. Help coordinate an event! If you want to set up a table, we can help (see below). You will go to a pick up point, sign out a table and tub full of material, and DO IT!
For major events, please call see if there's already a captain. It's good to arrange a meeting place a half hour before major events, so folks can get together for coffee, juice, and discussion of how to work the area. Volunteer to coordinate for your favorite event - MAKE IT HAPPEN!

NOTE: If the event you're interested in tabling charges a fee for space, contact EARL (713.515.3433), Nick (512.699.5833) and/or Paige (832.818.8644) to find out whether someone else has already paid that fee, so we don't pay twice.

Please click HERE to find suggestions for places to go on a regular basis to collect petition signatures. We can help you coordinate this to make sure that everyone doesn't go to the same place at the same time. Unless appropriate!
