Anybody want to volunteer their transcribing services?

This came through a Yahoo! group that I am on. I thought I would post it here in case anybody is interested.

My name is Hunter Scott, and I am an intern working for Project HomelessConnect, a one-stop-shop of services for the homeless of San Francisco startedby Mayor Gavin Newsom in 2004. I was referred to you by Claudette Allison, oneof our transcribers. We have a program we run at each bi-monthly event calledthe Story Project, in which we photograph and interview homeless, and thentranscribe those audio interviews, turn the most exciting into stories, and usethem for marketing and social networking.At the moment, Claudette is our only transcriber, and we have hundreds of audiofiles that need to be transcribed. Is there any way you could send out a messageto your network, informing any potential trancribers that we have a volunteeropportunity for them? Any help would be much appreciated, and would also benefitthe homeless.Thank you,Hunter Scott (
