EMM Volunteer Opportunities (for Linda L.)

Decide fast…this is next weekend!
The LLBean Store in Ross Park Mall on McKnight Road will be hosting a Spring Sports Weekend from Fri., April 17 to Mon., April 20 and have invited TRRA to attend and promote our organization. Here’s a description of the event…

“We are looking for groups associated with the outdoors to set up tables and promote their organizations. There will be clinics and demonstrations lined up for the customers to enjoy as well as a 30% discount on boats, bikes, tents and selected associated accessories.

The event will run from our stores opening hours to closing hours (Sat 9am-7pm & Sun 11am-6pm). We will be flexible to groups setting up for the entire day and half day as well.

We will have activities for children to encourage families to interact as well.
We want to work together to get everyone to enjoy the great outdoors!!!!!

Please let me know by Wed., April 15 if you can be available Saturday or Sunday, also if you have any suggestions for our presentation. I’ll be working with Jen Sunday & Rick to organize.



Some of you have asked about volunteering for the Scholastic Sprints. Jesse is the coordinator for this event, and he told Rick that their volunteer needs are covered at this point.

I received a few requests for volunteers from Rick to pass on to the team. If you’re interested in helping out with any of these projects, please contact me llang@medrad.com and I’ll schedule it with Rick who can provide you with more details.

CORPORATE COXSWAIN REP (1 person probably)
Rick will be sending an email out to all high school and college teams in an effort to compile a list of coxswains that want to get paid and work for corporate teams this summer. This person would be the contact for these individuals to get in touch with. The person would then compile the list of those interested with their contact info and give back to Rick so he can provide the corporate teams with a working list of individuals who might be available for them to contact.

GAS DUTY (1 person)
We need a person to check (at least weekly) the gas supply for launches and take any empty cans to a gas station to be filled. This person would be more than welcome to use the TRRA truck for this duty.

ORGANIZE DISPLAY BOARDS (1 person)
I’ll give someone with some creative bones in their body the option to organize the display boards (especially at Lambert) however they feel fit. I can certainly provide ideas, but there is no one way of doing it. I just would like them to look pretty. Jen suggested to me that we post volunteer hours that the different teams have done as a sort of competition on one of these boards. I think that’s a great idea. The boards are beginning to look a bit ratty and I’d love to spruce them up a bit.
