Mathcounts
Volunteers Needed

APWA is looking for volunteers to support the local Bay Area Mathcount events. Mathcount is a National Program, established to promote math at the middle school level. Many of you have volunteered in the past and made a difference in these kids lives. The association kindly requests your continued support to this program that will only help our younger generation excel in their curriculum.

Two Saturday events are planned, the first one will be held at UC Berkeley on February 11th and the second will be held at Pleasanton Harvest Middle School on February 25th.

The event organizers are looking for help in the following four areas:

• 8:00 am to 9:15 am Initial Setup
• 8:45 am to 11:45 am Competition (Proctoring or General Assistance/Runners)
• 9:00 am to 12 noon Competition (Scoring)
• 12 noon to 1:30 pm Final Countdown and Awards

The assignments will be very easy to handle and somewhat FUN!

Please respond to Kirah Stamps at Kirah.stamps@kimley-horn.com A response on or before January 31, 2012 will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your continued support to this volunteer program.
