United Way of Snohomish County’s 2004 Volunteer Expo is

10 a.m.-6 p.m. today at Everett Mall.

This is "one-stop shopping" for potential volunteers to meet representatives from nonprofit agencies and ask questions about their programs. This is the place to visit if you are a student in search of a high school project, a retiree who wants to stay connected with your community, a family or group looking for an opportunity to serve together, or a person who just wants to do good work.

At the event, get your blood pressure taken, get a library card or register to vote. There will be entertainment, too.
