CHOCOLATE RACE Volunteers Needed!!!

Hi Everyone,

We could still use some volunteers at the upcoming Chocolate Race in Port Dalhousie (near St. Catharine's) on August 29th. Those of you that are running the race may know of someone - perhaps a family member or friend - that would like to come and cheer you on from the best seat in the house..right on the course! If you are injured and are not running anyway c'mon down and be a part of a great event! Also a great opportunity for students to get their volunteer time for school so bring them out! They'll have a great time and get some hours signed off too!

Please reply by email as soon as possible to let me know if you can help out or if you know of someone that could (spouse, friend, family, teen aged kids). The race is actually THIS SUNDAY so I need my numbers firmed up ASAP.
Time Commitment - Sunday August 29th 8:30am to 12:30pm (only 4 hours!!)

Where - Port Dalhousie ON (next to St. Catharine's ON...it is GORGEOUS there!)

Why - to be a part of one of the BEST races on the circuit. RD is Diane of Dirty Girls fame..if you ran her race this month then you know she puts on a great one!

Accommodations - if you don't want to drive down from Barrie on Sunday morning we have FREE accommodations at my friends place 15 mins from the start. There is enough sleeping room for close to 20 inside and tons of acreage to pitch a tent if you prefer.

What's in it for YOU? - Free entrance to the chocolate after party (free chocolate !! ) and a Free beverage at a local establishment (think beer, wine or chocolate martini, chocolate milk for those under 19 :) ) These items are only being offered to Barrie volunteers to say a HUGE thanks for coming down to help out.

What's in it for ME? - having the confidence that the volunteers I have on course are doing an awesome job and knowing that we have a great and supportive running community!

Many have said they will assist, NOW is the time to commit...pretty please! This involves directing the runners on the course, cheering (we do it best in Barrie) and supporting those that you know participating in the event.

I am in need of a minimum of 16 bodies for the course marshaling. If I get more than I need (how awesome would THAT be), we can look at pairing people together...

If you can respond by email today it would be sooo appreciated! Hoping to count on your support. It is going to be a GREAT day!

Thanks so much!
Catherine
