I Think we could get the volunteers - but i'd rather focus on a SF-based adoption fair.  Josette is dbl-checking as to whether the health dept will let her have such after she re-opens her club.

All,

What do you all think about participating in this Adoptathon in Jack London
Square?  Below are the details from the SPCA.  It isn't until May 1st.  Please
respond back to me before talking about it on the lists.  I want to be sure it
won't sap resources that need to be focused elsewhere.

*        We will not be able to provide canopies, but we do recommend that you
bring one as there is always a chance of intense heat and/or bright sun.  Last
September the weather was moderate, but the sun was intense the later part of
the day.  We can provide a limited number of tables and chairs upon request. 
We would like to reserve the tables for organizations that are traveling far,
so please bring your own if you are local and able.  You are welcome to bring
information about your organization for visitors, or to fundraise for your
> organization. 
> *        As an added bonus, we are hosting this event simultaneously with Jack > London Square’s Farmer’s Market and the Oakland Artisan’s Marketplace.  This joining of forces will attract hundreds of visitors and potentially increase the number of adoptions.  We are also getting an early start this year, so there will be much more time for advertising.  Ideally we would like to have a complete list of organizations who will be attending by May 1st for advertising purposes.

In the past, our experience has been that when people know there will be
