Jay's first missive to parent volunteers, sent 2/25/2010

1. Greetings BSCHS crew families. As discussed tonight at the crew meeting, parent volunteers to assist with running the Regattas is very important. Bishop Sullivan has the finish line duties this year, which is a wonderful place to watch the regattas, and allows participating parents to see much of the race course, including the always exciting finishes. The finish line normally needs 5-10 people per regatta-- Two timers, one-two observers, two recorders, and a signal person.




2. Other opportunities. EVSRA needs volunteers for other positions as well. The Regatta office, launch and recovery docks, and grounds crew could use assistance if anyone prefers those activities. If there are experienced small boat operators, launch and safety boat operators are needed.



3. Please let me know if you are interested in volunteering. I will keep a running list of those who can help at each regatta, and will coordinate before each event with those helping out.



4. Finally, as Coach Bousquet mentioned, I am looking for a parent to takeover the BSCHS volunteer coordinator duties. I will ensure the parent relieving me gets to meet all the other folks at the Eastern Virginia Scholastic Rowing Association volunteer committee. Please call or email me and we can discuss any questions those interested might have about volunteer coordination matters.



Thanks, I look forward to seeing you this year.



Best r, Jay O'Brien
