Hi, and if you are receiving this newsletter for the first time, welcome to St.
Paul Updates.
Our upcoming workshop (April 7th) will be on Blogs and Blogging; it will
introduce participants to blogs and their uses, as well as RSS and the more
technical aspects of running a blog. We also need volunteers for our upcoming
tabling sessions and workshops, particularly for the April 7th tabling, so I
encourage you to pick a day (or more) that fits your schedule. Keep reading
for information about these topics and more.
---NEXT WORKSHOP: Creating a Community Blog---
Our next workshop will focus on Blogs and Blogging. This workshop will
introduce participants to blogs and their uses, as well as RSS and the more
technical aspects of running a blog. If you've ever been curious about blogs,
if you're familiar with the basics and want to learn a little more, or if you
have no idea what a blog is, then come to Rondo Library this Monday to have
your questions answered.

--VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES--
E-Democracy is a volunteer-powered organization. Without help from people like
you, we can't host workshops or help community members during tabling. We are
currently looking for volunteers for the month of April, particularly the 7th
and 14th. Volunteers can help table at Rondo Library from 4-6pm or assist with
our workshops from 6:50 to 8:45. They provide one-on-one assistance to
community members and may also help with setup and demonstrations. Please
contact <email obscured> to volunteer, and thanks in advance.
See you Monday.
