Volunteer Opportunity Details:

We need you! Someone with technical knowledge of how to make a PA system work with a loop system used by those with hearing loss. You will also have the skill to coordinate the use of a projector, DVD player and screen, and possibly the use of a laptop computer to project on screen. We are not techies and will value your help at our Walk4Hearing Kickoff event which we plan to do in the fall of 2009. An engineering background would be helpful.

We will give you background information and meet with you at the site of our Kickoff so you can see beforehand what is involved. It will probably be in the Central Park Boathouse.
