To All Strokes Athletes: As you all know=2C we have a national presidential=
 election coming up on Tuesday=2C November 4. If you are interested in work=
ing at a polling location in Alameda County (mostly Berkeley and Oakland)=
=2C you can raise money for the Oakland Strokes and learn firsthand more ab=
out how the actual voting process works!Return Center Helpers are needed to=
 work from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Tuesday=2C November 4. Each helper ea=
rns $40 for working that 3 hour shift. Return Center Helpers work as part o=
f a team that receives election supplies--secured bags of completed ballots=
=2C other polling place materials=2C etc.--at the end of Election Day. The =
most important qualification is probably reliability so that the Registrar =
knows he can count on helpers showing up for their assigned shift.If you wo=
uld like to work as a helper on Election Day=2C please let me know immediat=
ely and I will make further arrangements with the Alameda County Registrar =
of Voters. Alameda County has a program that allows members of a non-profit=
 organization--like the Strokes--to work the polls and then the non-profit =
organization receives a check for their members' work. Through this program=
=2C you would donate your $40 earnings to the Strokes. For example=2C if 20=
 Strokes athletes volunteer=2C the Strokes would receive a check for $800.I=
f you volunteer=2C you will want to let your teachers know you are working =
the polls just in case they want to back off some of the homework for that =
evening. (However=2C in my experience there is down time on this job=2C so =
bring a book.)Please let me know by the end of this week=2C if possible=2C =
if you would like to volunteer!The County requires that if the helpers are =
not yet 18=2C there has to be one person who is 18 or older working with th=
at group. Therefore=2C please let me know how old you are. Also=2C please l=
et me know if there are any parents who may be willing to be a worker as we=
ll in case we need more helpers 18 and older.The Strokes will solicit input=
 from our volunteer athletes regarding ideas for use of the funds raised th=
rough this effort. Mary WilliamsStrokes Parent
