Volunteer needed

I have received a request from the Ascanius program.  They are looking for student volunteers to help with an outreach program on Thursday, June 27 at the University of Memphis.  If you would like to help teach elementary school children about Roman culture, please let me know ASAP.  We can only nominate one student, so I will nominate the first qualified person to e-mail me.

Details:

Ascanius: The Youth Classics Institute is a nonprofit educational
organization dedicated to the promotion of Latin and Classical Studies
in the elementary school. On Thursday, June 27, we will be conducting
a free outreach program for students in grades 2-6 on the campus of
the University of Memphis, in conjunction with the 2013 American
Classical League Annual Institute. Students who attend the program
will have the opportunity to explore ancient Rome through exciting
hands-on activities in language, art, mythology, and culture.
As we have done in the past, we are inviting high school and college
Latin students to join us as we conduct this outreach program! It will
be a unique experience for students to share their enthusiasm for
ancient Rome with younger students, as well as learn how they may
implement similar programs in local elementary schools.
