Volunteers Needed

Hello RMEC. The Golf Club at Rocky Mount 5k & 10k is now just five days away, and we are still very short on volunteers. Please post comments if you can help out.

THURSDAY: We will be stuffing race packets this Thursday. We will meet at the main RBC building, and use the same format that we always use. We really need between 5-7 volunteers. Any more than that and it actually slows things down. We will start at 5:30 pm, and should be finished in less than two hours if all goes as planned. Each race bag will get a race number, safety pins, shirt, Wheaties sample, and a few race brochures. Nothing to fancy.

FRIDAY: The Harrison Family YMCA was kind enough to lend us their lobby for early packet pickup. We will have the early packet pickup from noon until 6:00 pm. It is an easy job to do. All we do look the runner up on our list, mark them off, and give them their race packet. We of course also want to encourage anyone who is not currently a member of the YMCA to request a tour of the facility in case they wish to join. At a minimum we need:

• 11:30 Michael, Scott, Yvonne
• 12-1 Michael, Scott, Yvonne
• 1-2 Richard, Jackson
• 2-3 _________
• 3-4 Alane Floyd
• 4-5 Liz, Jeannie H
• 5-6 Ursula, Michael

SATURDAY: If you know of any friends who would be interested in volunteering please direct them to our race website ASAP. We build a detailed volunteer plan to ensure we have everything covered. We like to tell the volunteers what they need to do prior to arriving. It makes things go much smoother. At the race website, they can register for free as a volunteer. A couple of places where we really need help

• Lead Biker: This is not a difficult job, but it is very important for the success of the race. If you can ride a bike, follow directions, and shout instructions, your are qualified.
• Packet Pickup Coordinator: We need a single person who can guide 5-7 people on race morning with packet pickup. It is a fun and easy job. I just want to make sure I can speak to the person before race morning.
