Volunteer to put Raleigh on the Map for Twestival Local
Posted on: 13 August 2009 at 1006 - Comment
Raleigh,
Twestival is all about ‘Local’ this fall. It’s still happening across the globe, but it’s up to us to pick our favorite local charity and make this event count for Raleigh. Do you want to get involved? It will take the help of just a few passionate, creative, strong helping hands to make Twestival Local happen in Raleigh and make a difference in the lives of some deserving individuals. What do you say?
Some background on Twestival Local:
- What is a Twestival? Simply put: it’s a volunteer driven event, organized in short time via twitter, to benefit charitable causes.
- Have you done this before? Yes, check out the fantastic event we did in February 2009. See all of the great sponsors and volunteers still listed in our sidebar. Read the blog archive for even more background.

Volunteer Positions Needed:

Obviously some of these duties could be combined but I wanted to break things down and make it a team effort as much as possible. If you are interested in getting involved, please follow @raltwestival on twitter. I am planning to have Skype calls during the evening hours this week to fill volunteer positions. Please DM @raltwestival or email raleightwestival at gmail if you are interested.
