DESERT AIDS PROJECT SEEKING VOLUNTEERS
FOR VOTER REGISTRATION DRIVE

(PALM SPRINGS, CA – September 28, 2006) The Desert AIDS Project Legislative Action Committee is looking for volunteers to help with a voter registration drive through October 23 at bars, Revivals Resale Marts, Desert AIDS Project, other public venues and D.A.P. events throughout the Coachella Valley.

“We’re really getting down to the wire, as Election Day is just a little more than a month away” says Desert AIDS Project’s Peer Advocate Ric Campbell, who is spearheading the voter registration drive. “It’s vital that as many people as possible not only register to vote, but follow through and make their voices heard on Election Day, Tuesday, November 7.”

Volunteers will receive orientation in proper registration procedures and will be supplied with forms and informational materials. For additional information about voter registration or to volunteer, contact Ric Campbell at 760-323-2118, ext. 239, or rcampbell@desertaidsproject.org.
