METRO Volunteer Fair arrives The UI will host its annual Volunteer Fair today from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the IMU Main Lounge. Roughly 70 local groups, from civic and government organiza- tions to childcare agencies, will send representatives to answer questions and help volunteers sign up. A poster session showcasing community projects will also be hosted from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Hubbard Commons in the IMU. Last year, Iowa City boasted the second highest volunteer rate among 75 midsize cities in the nation, according to the Corporation for National and Community Service. Officials said the 10,000 Hours program, a cosponsor of Wednesday’s events, con- tributed to high volunteer turnout. — by Zhi Xiong
