Trainings and Cleanups
Thanks to the pressure we've been putting on the cleanup agencies and to the grassroots cleanups of Kill the Spill (http://www.sfoilspill.blogspot.com/), we're happy to announce a large-scale training opportunity tomorrow night in San Francisco. Participating in these trainings is the only way to be legally certified to help out with beach cleanups. We know it will make a huge impact in fighting the spill. Please attend!
Disaster Service Worker Volunteer Certification
Wednesday, November 14th
County Fair Building 9th & Lincoln in Golden Gate Park
6pm - 10pm

We're also working on scheduling another large-scale training in Marin over the weekend. Look in upcoming action alerts for details.
The City of San Francisco will be leading cleanups for trained workers Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We will announce locations and details as they become available.
San Francisco Baykeeper Congressional Testimony
Baykeeper heads to Washington, DC tomorrow to testify in a congressional briefing to the Senate Commerce Department, which oversees the Coast Guard. Senators Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and Maria Cantwell have asked us to testify to the inadequate spill response efforts as they initiate an investigation to what went wrong.
Volunteer Opportunities
Baykeeper needs volunteers later this week to walk docks all around the Bay to educate boat owners and marina operators how to handle contaminated boats. You can read about this on-the-ground outreach program in tomorrow's update. If you haven't already, email volunteer@baykeeper.org with your availability and which tasks you're interested in, and we'll get you scheduled to come in. Thanks to everyone who has already offered to help.
Please continue to contact friends to sign up for volunteer alerts or to make a donation to support San Francisco Baykeeper's efforts out on the water to respond to this crisis.

THE NEXT TRAINING IS IN BERKELEY ON THURSDAY!!!!

Over 800 people were present tonight. I was in the first group of volunteers and the people of San Francisco are so diverse... The group that showed up were beautiful people. The training was a synopsis and the my work begins at the Berkeley Marina tomorrow morning at 10am. Suited and booted I will be working as a volunteer in my own community.

Please spend your time wisely and get involved. Things shouldn't obstruct you before you jump in. Now is the time and later you can feel like an agent of change.
