I am the volunteer coordinator for the May 19th  2012 Pole, Pedal, Paddle.  As you know the race is right around the corner.  I am struggling to fill my Nordic volunteer positions on the mountain for Saturday’s race.  Would you be able to post a “Help Needed” on your site and/or send your club members a quick e-mail and see if anyone could spare some time to help with the race?  Thank you in advance, for any help you can give me!

To sign up, simply go to our website www.pppbend.com and click on the volunteer button at the top of the screen.  Then members can scroll down and find the positions that are available.

Currently I need:

15 volunteers for the Nordic course

2 volunteers for the Alpine/Nordic transition area

7 volunteers for the Alpine section

Warmly,

Patty Neumann

Volunteer Coordinator, 2012 PPP

Thank you for all your support this season.  See you next year.
