Check your friends lists and pester anyone you think might be interested in being a part of our amazing project; we're only one week away from the kickoff of Operation Squeegee. On behalf of the squeegee planning crew to all of our current and future events volunteers: Thank You! Your time and talent are precious, and we are glad to have you on board.
