Volunteers still needed
A big thank you to all of the volunteers who have
signed up to work at our time stations. The schedules are filling
quickly, but we still have a number of time slots to fill at
both Oxford and Blanchester. Each time station will operate for
120 straight hours and we now have about 3/4 of those hours covered.
I'd like to volunteer, but I'm not sure
what to do? There will be persons around to get you
oriented. It is not much work and a lot of fun. You will be a
source of information. ("There's a 24 hour gas station right
there." "You can get a tire fixed around the corner.")
You are a cheer leader for the racers as they pass and post their
times on a tote board. Posted times are not official, but only
for information to crews and spectators.
One of the best parts is hearing stories of the race from crews,
RAAM media and RAAM officials as the stop for a break.
For more information, you can read the Time Station
Operations Manual here. (There will be copies at the stations.)
What do I bring with me? You'll find a suggested list here
The time I can work is already filled.
Sign up anyway. We would really like have at least two persons
on duty at a time. More is better.
I still have questions? Contact anyone listed on the right
for an answer or check the Volunteer Information page on the web
site.
