1. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Here's your chance to help in
the promotion of Badminton in the ChicagoLand
Area!

Chicago Park District (CPD) is introducing
Badminton for Kids in their Fall 2008 program (In
41 [forty one] CPD locations!). This will be the
biggest roll-out of badminton in new facilities
at one time in the US! In preparation,
volunteers are needed to train CPD instructors and
assess/oversee/assist various CPD venues - and in
general help with this program.

Volunteers who commit time and resources will be
given free attire/clothing, travel expenses will
be reimbursed and maybe even get a chance to be
