Color Me Rad 5K is looking for volunteers! (Brunswick, ME)

This is a really fun event where you run a 5K starting off with a clean, white shirt and along the way get "color-bombed" (sprayed with colored paint) in a variety of ways.  And it's coming to Maine!  The coolest part is they're looking for volunteers to do the color-bombing.
 
From the website: "We need volunteers to help hand out registration packets to runners on August 14th and 15th (location TBA) and to throw color and hand out water on Race Day, August 16th at Brunswick Landing.  Must be 14 years old to volunteer."
 
Here's a link to the application

Summer Conversations

The Root Cellar is in need of dedicated, easygoing native English speakers to assist residents of Munjoy Hill and its surroundings with conversational English. These New Mainers are competent workers, though they are lacking conversational English needed for the workplace. Please consider giving just one hour weekly to improve our community and the lives of these residents.
 
When: Thursdays 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM
What: English conversation assistance
 
If you are interested in serving as a conversational English assistant/partner or would like more information, please contact Peggy Hinman at peggy@therootcellar.org or 207-774-3197.
 
Thanks in advance for your participation!
