As of this moment, I believe I have enough people to help with this Saturday's Homecoming game at Purdue. Many have been confused and worried about volunteering for the Parking Lot Football fundraiser, mostly because they are unsure what is involved in it. I would like to invite ANYONE interested in finding out more about what all is involved, to come to the David Ross Memorial and Garden (

If there is anyone who could help volunteer for Purdue parking this Saturday with Pride Lafayette, Michael Behrens is currently 5 people down. This is a fundraiser that is critical to raise money for our operating expenses--in other words, this pays for about 2/3 of the rent for 1 year. If you can volunteer, contact Michael Behrens at michael@pridelafayette.org, or come down to the Center

I am looking to fill 3 spots for the game this Saturday. If you're unfamiliar with the set up, we direct traffic in one of the parking lots prior to the Purdue Home football game. The amount of time needed is 7 am - Noon. After the shift is over you may go to the game for FREE. It's homecoming and we play Minnesota. Hit me up if you'd like to volunteer. I need to know by Wed. if possible.
