Volunteer recruitment at a school
posted by mara  on Aug 23 2008
Our build is over.  I can now breathe--I think.  We are Jewish Day School with about 200 families. It was amazing, it turned out that 180 volunteers showed up the day of the build.  I still don't know how some people heard about it.  We al....

Can anyone tell me how the depth of compressed wood mulch is measured?  I have checked in the ASTM and I know how thick it should be.  Do we just dig a bunch of holes and use a ruler?  Tim ....

Hello KaBOOM!

I hope no one reads this post today because it is a holiday and you should all be playing, but if you are seeing this, then you must be very dedicated to the KaBOOM! Community and for that I salute you.

We changed the forums! As you can see above, we have a new area to help you get started, learn what's new in the community, and an area where we will feature active members of the community.

Say hello to our first Featured Member, mara! Her is some wisdom from Mara's most recent post:

We have 4 volunteer days coming up in the next 7 weeks--we need a total number of at least 150 volunteers.  I guess that I will just continue to constuctively panic.

Read the full story.

We've also greatly reduced the number of forum categories. For instance, the threads for the Playmaker Network and Playful City USA have now been combined. Also, nearly all of the forums about building playspaces have been combined into two categories, Building and Fundraising. We've eliminated many of the categories that no one was visiting and we think it will easier for you to find useful conversations.

Finally, one of the most requested features of the KaBOOM! forums, search!

Yes! You can now search the forums by thread, username, date, and by keywords. The search function is what we are calling a "beta" test. There may be some bugs and if you come across some, we would be very appreciative if you posted them in the Community forum (along with any other questions and comments about the changes we've made too!)

Have a great Fourth of July weekend!
