We need 35 to 40 JSRC members and their friends to volunteer at the 3rd Annual
Reebok Grand Prix Track and Field event
on Saturday, June 2, 2007. The event is at a world class track and field event
venue at Randal's Island in NY City.
We volunteered at this event last year and have been invited back by event
organizers. No previous experience is necessary as the
tasks involved all the way from selling tickets to the event, handing out
programs, escorting the runners to the start, and general
setup of the event logistics.
For all volunteers last year, Reebok provided a pair racing running shoes, a
golf shirt and a hat. Also provided were snacks and drinks.
The club will coordinate a luxury bus to bring us there and back. It will be
from Lincroft/Red Bank GSP commuter parking lot. The
cost of the bus trip will be $20. Club will provide additional soda and snacks
for the trip. The event starts at 5 pm and goes until 9 pm.
The bus will leave the commuter lot at 2 pm so we are there around 3 pm to help
with the organization. We will leave after the event completes.
This is your chance to see world class athletes up-close and in person and also
see potential world records set.
If you are interested in volunteering, send email to Raman at boardwalk2@gmail.com
