Newport needs prep help for centennial

The city of Newport Beach is revving up its preparatory engines

for its 100-year celebration as a city in 2006 by putting out a call

for volunteers to assist with planned events.

Volunteers can choose to help with one of 10 committees:

fundraising/sponsorship, community outreach, events, Newport-Mesa

Unified School District activities, community alliance, heritage,

volunteer coordination, Rose Parade float, finance or marketing and

public relations.
