Outreach (was) staff committee that is open to volunteer participation. We cover a lot of different areas at Free Geek, so to make this more manageable we broke it down into five subcommittees and one over-sight committee called "Outreach." Each has a mailing list that can be joined by signing up at: http://lists.freegeek.org/listinfo
