Requested Information |

Hi Friend -- Sorry about the generic reply. Thanks for
contacting us about volunteering at Rock Medicine, a program of the Haight
Ashbury Free Clinics. If after reading this e-mail & checking out the web site
you still have a question, please let me know. I'll try to get an answer to you
as soon as I can.
The next Rock Medicine Orientation will be held in Spring 2004. Rock Medicine
won't be accepting new volunteers until then. Physicians, PAs, & NPs are welcome
any time and can call the office (415-487-3681) for an application.
For other jobs or volunteering at the Haight Ashbury Free Clinics, call Human
Resources at 415-561-5251, call the HAFCI job announcement line at 415-561-5297,
or visit http://www.HAFCI.org/hr/
Summer & Fall is the busiest time for Raz (the director) and he has no office
help. With 400 active volunteers and over 200 shows each year, you'll be helping
him by reading the basic information on the web site and then e-mailing me back
if you have additional questions. Remember, Raz doesn't have e-mail (Rock
Medicine needs a better computer), so anything you send to Raz via e-mail gets
filtered through me and other volunteers.
Information about how and when to join Rock Medicine is on the web site (www.RockMed.org).
The office address is:
Rock Medicine
Attn: RAZ
612 Clayton Street
San Francisco CA 94117
Check out the web site:

page)
http://www.RockMed.org/ShowList.htm (the list of shows we'll be
working in the next month or so)
http://www.RockMed.org/faq95.htm
(what you need to know to volunteer with Rock Medicine)
http://www.RockMed.org/ShowListOldNews.htm (news of interest to
volunteers and others, and some of the better bad jokes people send)
Then call the tape 415-487-3681 after 5 p.m. weekdays and 24 hours on weekends
to get the latest Show List.
"Raz don't do e-mail!" So please check out the web site (did I mention that?) -
answers to most questions are there -- and then call the tape. You'll need to
call during business hours to book a show; always leave a daytime phone number.
About the "Unofficial Rock Medicine Newletter"
I had been sending the Rock Medicine newsletter each month with the upcoming
show list and other items of interest to volunteers. As some subscribers noted,
it became longer and longer between each e-mail.
I started the list in 1995 with six e-mail addresses and ended in June 2001 with
over 600. Adding, changing, and removing 30-50 addresses from the list each
month began to take too much time and I had other projects (building a
www.craigslist.org type list
wasn't one of them). Back in 1995 not everyone could surf the Internet. Now,
with tons of junk e-mail and the ease of browsing the Internet, I've decided I
can update the newsletter more often by posting it at the RockMed.org web site.
For the latest Show List and updated Rock Medicine information go to
http://www.RockMed.org/ShowList.htm
You'll also find new web pages for "Old News" and "Bad Jokes".
Hope this works for you. Remember, the Show List is a guideline -- the latest
information can be obtained at 415-487-3681 (except during business hours).
See you at the shows - thanks for your interest in volunteering with Rock
Medicine and the Haight Ashbury Free Clinics.
Bye,
Bob

Update:
Raz will start collecting names for the Rock Medicine Spring Orientation in
March 2004. The orientations will be in April 2004 at Shoreline Amphitheater and
the Sacramento Valley Amphitheater in April 2004 at 12 Noon on a Saturday. These
will be the only orientations offered this year and the only times we will be
accepting new volunteers, except for physicians, physician assistants and nurse
practitioners, whom we accept year round. All sign-ups must be done by calling
the central office at 415-487-3681.
To sign up for the orientation, please SLOWLY leave your name, medical skill
level, (CPR, EMT, RN) which orientation you wish to attend (you only need to
attend one), and a phone number where I can leave you a message. I will call you
back to give you instructions and directions on what you will need to bring,
where these amphitheaters are, and where the trainings will be held. Thank you
for your interest and we look forward to meeting you. Raz and the Rock Medicine
