AguaClara's Spring Benefit ConcertIn just a few months, AguaClara will be hosting its semester benefit concert at The Nines! The night includes performances by talented local bands and great food at one of Collegetown's most popular local hangouts. In past years the concert has featured bands such as Juliana Richer Daily and Weggalo Star. AguaClara is currently looking for any bands interested in participating in the concert this April. Money raised from the night will go towards AguaClara research as well as funding annual trips to Honduras, where the team will work on further developing their system. If anyone is interested in participating in this event, please contact Gianna at gz68@cornell.edu Update: AguaClara benefit concert starts at 10pm at the Nines next Thursday, April 7!The biannual benefit concert was a great success, thanks to the participation of local artists Alan Rose & the Restless Elements, Julianna Richer Daily, Larry Lin, and Pouria Pezeshkian! Special thanks to the Nines for hosting this event once again. For those that missed it, photos are available on AguaClara's Picasa page here, and of course we encourage everyone to come out for the concert next semester. Volunteer OpportunitiesAguaClara is currently taking local volunteers! As of this semester, the team is open to individuals willing to help out with any aspect of the project. Teams are involved in a variety of tasks and range from Foam Filtration Research to the Design Team. Those without significant engineering experience are welcome to participate and learn more about AguaClara and the water filtration system. Additionally, they are welcome to participate on the Outreach Team which works to spread the word about AguaClara both locally and globally. Projects include updating the website, planning fundraising event, creating promotional materials, and contacting potential funding sources. Volunteer opportunities vary in length of time commitment and every participant will receive a certificate at the end of their commitment as verification of their contribution to AguaClara. Anyone interested can contact Rosa at rm497@cornell.edu. |
