TO: Potential Volunteers and Sponsors FROM: Tech Corps-DC DATE: August 2, 1996 RE: NetDay96 NetDay96, a new grass roots, volunteer initiative to get every public, private, and alternative K-12 school in the nation wired for connection to the Internet, is coming to the District of Columbia this October. Originating in California last March, over 50,000 technical and non-technical volunteers turned out to wire more than 3,000 schools in a single day. Activities taking place in Maryland, D.C., and Virginia are being overseen by the NetDay East coalition. Events in the District are being coordinated by Tech Corps-DC, a non-profit organization that has already begun working closely with several schools in the area. Each weekend this October, parents, teachers, students, and other volunteers will help wire schools in the District. Tech Corps-DC is looking for volunteers, sponsors, and endorsements for this exciting initiative. Interested parties may get involved in the following ways: WWW: http://www.cgcs.org/netday-east/ E-mail: netday-info@cgcs.org netday-volunteers@cgcs.org netday-sponsors@cgcs.org netday-endorsements@cgcs.org netday-schools@cgcs.org Phone: (202) 628-TECH (8324) I would be happy to give more information. Participating in this effort is a good way to find support to wire your school. If librarians play an active role, then the libraries will be at the center of the network.
