News from CASE

Hey Everyone

I am passing on some info from Northside's great CASE Club.

Thanks to Mike Coy for the information.

Students and colleagues – on July 13, 14, and 15, the Pitchfork Music Festival takes place in Union Park (Grand and Western). Lots of freaky, beautiful music will happen, and you have an opportunity to see and hear it all for free, and from the inside out (maybe even from backstage!).

CASE (the Community for Alternative Sources of Energy) are volunteering at to work the festival again this year. If we get enough volunteers, they will let CASE set up a table to advertise our club, and then they’ll give us money. Last year, we volunteered and they gave $500 to CASE. And everybody got to see the show for FREE!! This year, we’d like to get a total of 25 shifts, and they’ll give us $1500!

So – we’re looking for volunteers for 6-hour shifts on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you join us, you’ll “work” for 6 hours (11am-5pm or 4pm-10pm) checking wristbands, tickets, ID’s, helping bands set up, tear down, getting water for prima donna performers, etc. You also get a ticket for the show for that day. And you’ll be helping CASE help the environment. Sweet deal. You can work one, two, or all three days – it’s up to you.

If you want to join us (I think they want upperclassmen, but we can work on that), please respond to Tyler Johnson (cc’d above) with your choice of shift(s).

Shifts:
Friday, July 13: 4pm to 10pm
Saturday, July 14: 11am to 5pm OR 4pm to 10pm
Sunday, July 15: 11am to 5pm OR 4pm to 10pm

Check out https://mail.nscollegeprep.cps.k12.il.us/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.pitchforkmusicfestival.com/ for more details on which band is playing when.

You live in a big, beautiful city. Take advantage of opportunities like this that just fall into your laps. This may be a life-changing experience for you.

If you have any info to post on this matter or any other matter, post or email keanemd@gmail.com and I will post the info for you.

Thanks!

Hey Mike - thanks for passing that on.

I didn't know that about Prince Charles. I need to do the google on that guy.
