Days Inn Cleveland Airport
16161 Brookpark Rd Cleveland
FOOD
We will provide breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday. Dinner Saturday will be on your own. The bus will stop along the way on Friday and Sunday evenings for people to eat. We will also have some snacks available. When you sign up please let us know if you are a vegetarian.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:
Your time in Ohio will mostly be spent outside, knocking on doors, and persuading voters that they should vote for Barack Obama. It will be cold outside, so everyone should be prepared to dress warmly. If some people can’t go out and knock on doors we will have some phone calls available for them to make. Since you are traveling some distance we would hope that you could stay all day. Tentatively, the canvasses will start around 10 A.M. and run until 1 or 2. Than your group can come back to the staging area, grab some lunch, and head back out there. Out of state volunteers are twice as useful as in state volunteers because you made the commitment and you can go out there again.
COST
The cost of the trip will be $50 per person and includes hotel room, breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday and transportation. Additionally we are asking anyone who can afford it, to make an additional donation to cover the remaining cost of the trip. We are actively working to raise money to pay for the trip but the actual cost of the trip is far more than the $50 per person that we are charging. So please make an additional donation if you can.
