>As you know, military recruiters have an extensive presence in 
>Houston high schools and tell students only part of the story about 
>military enlistment.  Since 1994 the Houston Area Committee for 
>Youth and Non-Military Opportunities has been able to place displays 
>of literature about the realities of military enlistment 
>and alternatives to the military for jobs and education in 
>participating high schools. 
>
>But more volunteers are needed to maintain and expand this important 
>counter recruitment program.  We are looking for volunteers 
>who can commit to making 3 brief visits per year to a high school to 
>monitor our literature display in the counselors office and/or 
>library. 
>
>We have scheduled a training for volunteers this month to reorganize 
>and update our work in schools.  If you'd like to begin representing 
>us at one or more schools this spring, we'd like you to attend this 
>training, which includes background on recruitment issues, 
>explanation of our projects goals and procedures, and role plays of 
>school visits.  (An experienced volunteer will accompany new 
>volunteers on their initial visit to a new school.)
>
>     Saturday, January 30, 10 am-2 pm (includes lunch)
