Potluck and Home Meet Volunteer Update - Thursday September 4th


Thank you to all of you who have already replied and let me know you can help volunteer at the meet! I would still like a few more volunteers so I can make sure the parents can watch their runner’s race and not miss it. If you can help, please contact me at twright1@progressive.com.   

 

I plan on meeting the volunteers at 4:10-4:15 near the starting line on Thursday.  The middle school races start at 4:30, so we need to get the volunteers out to their spots on the course right away.  I would like to have high school parents work the middle school races and the middle school parents work the JV and Varsity races if at all possible.  If we get enough volunteers, we shouldn’t have to have anyone work more than two races (approx 45-60 minutes).

 

Volunteers, please make sure you are armed with bug spray and sun screen just in case.  The gnats have been pretty bad the last few years.   The current National Weather Service forecast is:

 

A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly between 1pm and 4pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 77. South wind 5 to 15 mph becoming west northwest in the afternoon.

 

(If we are lucky, hopefully the storm system will pass before the meet and we will cool down and dry out.)

 

Secondly, we are having a pot luck following the award ceremony in the High School commons.  You can keep your food in the Career Center room on the first floor of the high school while the meet is going on.  It is located between the Performing Arts Center and the Commons.

 

Families of the runners are also invited.  Please bring a dish or two to share with the group. 

 

See you all on Thursday.  Go Storm!!
