Hello,

We are looking for volunteers to help put up window posters for Mickey
Mouse Movie Masterpieces, the BIFF special charity event on April 4,
2009 at Shea's Buffalo.

Volunteers will get free passes for the 10:30 screening of The Hand
Behind the Mouse.

Both people with cars and those without can volunteer since one person
can drive, and the other can run into a store or restaurant and hang
up the posters.

We need volunteers all over the WNY area from Niagara Falls down to
the South Towns.

You must be self-supervising and reliable. You can set your own
schedule and just have to arrange to pick up posters.

There is a master list of known locations that will accept posters,
but we hope volunteers will be imaginative and find new ones that you
can keep track of so that we can update cooperative venues.

Please write to us at BuffaloFilmFestival@... if you are
interested in helping out to promote this wonderful charity event.

Hello.  I will be at the meeting.

I look forward to attending.  I am willing to help out however I can.

Thank you.

Take care,

Kim Beranek
