Community Service Project

Sly Park Bike Repair - We will be repairing the cruisers that the school uses to get around campus, with the help of a couple of professional bike mechanics from Peak Adventures and Bicycle Chef in Sacramento. If you are interested helping with or learning how to replace a tire, fix a chain or adjust brakes and shifting mechanisms, please come help on this free bike maintenance workshop and community service event. Come to the Garage on Sunday from 11:00am -12:20pm to help out.

Networking

One of the best things about attending a WRAEE Conference is the opportunity to make new professional and personal connections, and renew existing contacts. We have designed a number of opportunities for you to meet others with similar interests at meals, during Sunrise Activities, and in the evenings. If this is your first WRAEE Conference, we encourage you to attend our “Newbie Orientation” to help get you situated and explain the AEE way of conferencing. We suggest bringing business cards and material from your programs to share with other people at the conference. We are also looking for volunteers for various projects for 2008/2009—it’s a great way to get involved! Come to the Regional Meeting and Power Breakfast to find out more!

Bookstore

Feed your mind! Stop by the WRAEE Bookstore-n-More to pick up new resources or gifts to take home. This year we will be implementing the “virtual” bookstore, allowing you to order books directly from the AEE eStore at the member discount! We will also have T-Shirts, stickers, and other fun items for sale. Bring a few books or a CDs to donate for our “Buck a Book” or “Music for a Song” section of the Bookstore. With each purchase you will be helping to financially support WRAEE—a very worthy cause! The Bookstore will open Saturday morning and will close after Lunch on Sunday.

Silent Auction

You won’t believe the items we have available this year! Stop by and bid on something for yourself, your organization, or for a gift. You’ll not only find great bargains, you will also be helping the WRAEE fundraising effort! We encourage you to bring at least 1-2 items that you have purchased specifically to donate, or items that are ‘previously loved’ that you think other members could use. If you have any questions about the auction, or would like to let us know what you will be bringing, please contact Tanya Aghazarian at t_aghazarian@yahoo.com
