Volunteers Manning Shifts
August 26th, 2008 at 1:30 pm | posted by Virginia SimmonsThe delegates, volunteers and brand new ONE members are pouring by our ONE Bus in Denver.
I managed to catch some of it on camera. First I’ll profile 3 of our volunteers: Erika, Monica and Allie.
Erika (below) and I chatted for a bit. She told me that she first heard about ONE 2 years ago from an email - and has been a big supporter ever since. This is the first time she’s been able to volunteer in-person - I’m excited to see more of her around the convention.
Monica is also a local volunteer. Here she is getting ready to head out to the 16th St. Mall in Denver to spread the word about ONE. Yesterday, she walked the “delegate-credentialing” line and signed up new ONE delegates for us. She was even able to get to hand some ONE lit and a ONE band to New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin.
And local volunteer Allie also came by and was kind enough to pose for me by our bus.

Being a native New Orleanian myself (living and working in L.A.), it’s exciting to hear Mayor Nagin received some ONE materials!
