In episode 16 of the Volunteer San Diego Podcast, I have a conversation with Bob Lavenstein.  Bob and I are co-leaders of one of our popular FLEX Projects at Volunteer San Diego, the Polinsky BBQ.  Bob discusses the volunteer opportunity at the Polinsky Center, and what volunteers can expect at the project. 

Our Community Cinema project continues on Wednesday, February 7th, with a documentary entitled Hip Hop:  Beyond Beats and Rhymes.  The community is welcome to attend.  Contact Jessica End at Volunteer San Diego for more information.
