Day volunteer meeting on 
We'll show you the cool EarthFair slide show
and tell you about all the ways you can help make Earth Day blossom.
On Earth Day in April, millions of people look for something
meaningful to do for the environment. In San Diego, more than 70,000 people
are expected to attend San Diego Earth Day's seventh annual EarthFair in
Balboa Park on Sunday, April 21, 1996 from 10 am - 4 pm.
Featuring more than 250 educational exhibits and seven
entertainment stages, the EarthFair is the largest free environmental event
in California. Over 400 volunteers produce the EarthFair, managing the Earth
Parade, parking bicycles, setting up exhibits, answering phones and separating
recyclables.
Volunteers are needed before the EarthFair, too. Current
projects for 1996 include: the campaign for sustainable food choices, the
EARTH (Environmental Action and Restoration That Helps) awards, the VIP
(Very Important Planet) reception, hosted by actor Ed Begley, Jr., a silent
auction, and a luncheon workshop for business leaders as well as the EarthFair.
San Diego Earth Day is a year-round, volunteer-run non-profit
organization dedicated to a clean, healthy and prosperous future. Events
throughout the year encourage people to take individual action for the future.
