Hot Down Air Town

Come out and help Mel Ziegler

This project involves volunteers collecting breath samples, by getting participants to blow up balloons, and draw self portraits on them. We will have volunteers stationed in 9 downtown buildings, and our goal is to collect around 2000 breath samples. Volunteers must be willing to approach workers in the buildings, explain the project, and convince people to participate. We will have tables set up in the lobbies, but volunteers may also need to make the effort to find people. The balloons will be collected each day April 23-25, 2008, and will be mixed together over the weekend, and installed in the buildings Monday April 28th.

We will have 3 different schedules for volunteers during April 23-28
All Day: 7am-6pm
1/2 Day: 7am-1pm, 12-6pm
4 hr shifts: 7-11am, 10am-2pm, 2-6pm
