Girl Scouts, Lions Clubs, Rotary Clubs, schools and groups throughout
San Diego County, and more... Up-coming
Speakers Needed!

Peace Corps Recruiting Events I love help from anyone, as I really get bored of my own stories and I often get swamped with 4-5 students at a time. Possible free food at the many of the fairs – and pockets full of free pens and trinkets from other recruiters! For more details on any event people can just email me directly. |
