Hello, everyone.

First of all, I want to let you know that there is a temporary look to the cityprototype.com website, but feel free to check the page for information on the week. I met with a few volunteers last week, but I can always use more help. Please let me know if you can volunteer for any of the following:

Prototype Art Campaign: - I have to finalize the times for the TV painting, but I'm considering 10am-6pm on July 31st and August 1st. I'd like to have some folks around to help the artists in any way and to talk to the public about the CP week.

Prototype News Conference: - Markey's Audio Visual will begin setting up at 8-8:30am, so I'd like to have some people on hand just in case. Any other help with setup/teardown would be good.

Prototype Collaboration: - I'm working on getting Higher Grounds, where we'd like the teens to congregate. With the use of Science Central's video gear, we will interview students about Fort Wayne and possibly go out with them and shoot some downtown video. We'll also take them up to the Summit Club from 1-3pm. We'll have free boxed lunches for the students from the Summit Club. Whatever the number of teens, we need to be prepared with as many people as possible for setup, video production, guides, etc.

Prototype Product Launch: - Markey's will begin setup around 1pm, so it'd be good to have some folks around for that and other setup needs. I'd like to have someone who can work closely with Northeast Indiana Innovation Center to make sure their needs are taken care of.

Prototype Storefront: - I should be hearing soon whether the Redevelopment Commission has given us permission to use the Midtowne Crossing space. Our digital storefront has moved to the vacant space right next to Columbia Street West, so we'll be able to do something different at Midtowne if the space is approved. We will invite artists to create a prototype studio space/virtual gallery. Anyone who would be interested in organizing this, let me know.

Pop Filter: - I need volunteers all day, before, during and after the event. Imagine organizing three huge parties and everything it entails. Need I say more? :)

Thanks!
