Hi,

We are still in need of 28 volunteers. You will need to be at the field by 3:30 and the meet will start promptly at 4. Once you arrive, you will be assigned an event.

Please plan to be there for the duration of the event. Once all the athletes have competed, your shift will be over and you will be free to leave. No stress, no assignment is complicated and the coaches will be there to explain what they need done.

Please note that the snack bar will not be open.

As always, the coaches, athletes, and I appreciate any time you can spare. Without you they cannot succeed.

Thank you in advance,

Sandy Urquhart
Team Manager
