We volunteer because we know what it takes to put on a race for our kids; it takes many of us to hold a successful, safe and fun race and this weekend’s race was exactly that… successful, safe and fun! As we all know, it’s sometimes hard to volunteer when we want to watch our kids race but its necessary for us to do our share.
We had a great turnout this weekend and it’s a testament to what great people we have in our race community. We hope you had some fun too!

Big White Ski Club thanks all of you for jumping in not only at this past U12 race but other races we hosted throughout the season.

Dear Big White Ski Club Parents,
 
This U12 Invitational race is the last race of the season at Big White, the last race of the season where we need volunteers.  Thank you to those who have signed up.

As a member of the Big White Ski Club each of us is required to volunteer at as many events as possible, we require your involvement so that we are able to host top notch events and to ensure the safety of our athletes. Volunteering for a race is simple as there are many different “jobs” that you can do that do not need any ski racing experience to do.

Don’t be shy, please click this link to sign up:  http://signup.com/go/QJOvDiQ

Here’s where we need coverage; we can’t run a race without them! 

• Assistant Starter* – Sat & Sun, no experience necessary, get the kids in place for their run!

*Volunteers for next weekend’s race aren’t exactly pouring in. *

We know you are often inundated with emails for various reasons. It’s the season and the Big White Ski Club has a lot going on which is what makes it so fun! Keep in mind, emails are meant to keep you informed and provide you with helpful information.

Please sign up;  http://signup.com/go/QJOvDiQ

You don’t have to have experience to: Gate Judge, Hand Timer and Hand Record. These need to be filled.

Whether you want a position on or off the mountain, there is something for everyone!

Look forward to seeing everyone at the race!

Sincerely,

Charlene McMillan
BWSC Volunteer Coordinator
