Below is a typical budget for a straight three-week voter registration project involv- ing 20 persons plus two leaders: Food $ 420.00 Utilities 15.00 Household supplies 15.00 Postage, phone, office supplies 10.00 Travel on job 30.00 Truck rental 10.00 Insurance ($1.15 per person per week) 70.00 Education & Recreation 30.00 Leaders' honorarium 100.00 Leaders' travel home 100.00 Total 800.00 plus travel of participants. One, but by no means the only, way to schedule citizenship workshops in a short, three-week project, is to hold three of them: (1) You and Your Vote -- Why Vote? (2) How to Register (3) Know Your Candi- date.
