this project.

Hi, I'm working with Camilla Feibelman, the Sierra Club spanish language
media coordinator here in the DC office, to gather some information from
chapters.  Here's what we're trying to do:

   The Sierra Club is working with the Hispanic Radio Network to do spanish
   language PSAs on the environment.  Listeners will be able to call an 800
   number for further information.   Based on the callers interest the
   operator will refer them to a specific organization.  Sierra Club
   Chapter offices would be listed.   Many of the callers will be bilingual
   but others may not be so we are trying to identify chapters that might
   have a spanish speaker for callers who don't speak english.  Please
   answer the following questions so that we can provide the correct
   information:

   -Do you have someone in the office who speaks Spanish?
   -If not, do you have someone in the chapter who speaks Spanish?
   -Would they be willing to receive inquiries from Spanish speakers?   If
   so,  please provide their name and phone number, or the chapter can
   simply refer the caller to them.
   -Would you like us to send you a Spanish language cheat sheet to help
   you refer a caller to a your spanish language contact?

   If you don't have a spanish language contact, please keep looking, and
   we'll send you a cheat sheet on how to refer someone to Camilla or
   another spanish speaker.  The volume of calls from this outreach effort
   is likely to be fairly small.

   Also, if you are interested in doing press work or materials in Spanish,
   please contact Camilla Feibelman at 202-675-6276 or
