CONFERENCE: LavaCon + Habitat for Humanity in New Orleans

A personal note from Jack Molisani, conference organizer:

LavaCon is organizing a Community Service Day with Habitat
for Humanity in New Orleans on Saturday October 27th.

On one hand, I dont want people to think that New Orleans NEEDS
a community service day, that restaurants arent open, that the
city is limping along--its not! There are actually more
restaurants open now than before Katrina: 861 now vs. 809
pre-K !

On the other hand, there are people outside the city proper who
are still living in FEMA trailers, families at ground zero
(where the levies breached in the Ninth Ward) who are still
rebuilding their houses from scratch, etc.

These are the people you will be helping during the Community
Service Day.

More info and photos are available on the conference website: http://
www.lavacon.org

Come to New Orleans.

See the city for yourself.

Then lend a hand and make a difference.

The TECHWR-L Daily Summary Mailing, a separate mailing list
that summarizes new content posted to Employment Central and
the Calendar, can further help get your
message out to interested people:
http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/daily-announce-info.html

These resources are available at no cost to anyone, posters
or seekers, TECHWR-L subscribers or not. We encourage you to
regularly use these free services.
