Quick What’s Up from So-Cal, and We Still Need You!
February 06, 2009
So far, hundreds and hundreds of Darius Goes West supporters have gathered thousands of pieces of data that will help enhance our letter-writing campaign to schools across the country. The support has been overwhelming. But we still haven’t quite reached our goal of 1,000 on-line volunteers. Those of you who have helped with this effort: thank you! Those who haven’t: there’s still time! We still need your help!
If you have even an hour extra this weekend to devote to Darius Goes West, please email Andrew Carson at AndrewDGW@gmail.com. Remember: it’s as easy as Google-searching, copy-pasting, and emailing. Thank you!
Also, next week, we’ll have a blog entry about Darius and the crew’s wonderful and exciting time TED. Until then, check out this link for some info about the TED Fellow Talks, where Darius is being received with warmth and enthusiasm.
