1 - VOLUNTEERING UPDATE
Hello racer parents, just a quick update on volunteering expectations. Every race that happens throughout the ski season is 100% dependant on volunteers. Each ski club is REQUIRED to provide gate judges/keepers to allow the event to run. This list of volunteers is to be submitted early in the week before the event along with the list of competing athletes. Though WSRC has a history of stepping up last minute this causes a lot of issues for the organizing committee. We are even feeling the pinch for our own Wentworth events.
The signup page is actively maintained and live with all the events throughout the season. Should you have any questions about any of the categories or roles please let me know and I will happily fill in any knowledge gaps.
Please visit the page via the parent drop down window, volunteer button, or via the attached link: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/409044aa4a728a2f49-volunteers.
Please visit the link and find an area where you can help.
Thank you and see you on the slopes
