TRTC Volunteers Sought for Tarwheels BikeFest August 12

[Bill Bussey]

Hi folks,

Summer is heating up, and so are plans for the Carolina Tarwheels 
Bicycle Club's 2006 BikeFest, on Saturday, August 12.  Once again TRTC 
will staff the ride's rest stop at Walnut Grove Methodist Church in 
northern Orange County.  Once again I need at least 6 volunteers to help 
provide refreshments for the thirsty cyclists.  A four hour commitment, 
from 7:45 to 11:45, would be optimal.  Shorter shifts negotiable.

This is a great opportunity to publicize the work of TRTC among hundreds 
of BikeFest participants.  Bike riders and their families are natural 
candidates for a fine facility like the ATT.  The Tarwheels club has, on 
occasion, generously bestowed financial grants on TRTC.

Here is the official volunteer info on BikeFest:

- Food tray, cutting board, kitchen knives (for apples, bananas, 
oranges), home baked cookies, zucchini bread   :)
- Ice chest, drink cooler (The Tarwheels will issue 4 coolers), pail/bucket
- Truck/van, cell phone

Our schedule on Aug. 12:
7:45 a.m.   Meet me at the Rec Center, on Hassell St. @ W. Tryon St., 2 
blocks west of downtown Hillsborough, to load provisions into trucks/vans.
8:15 a.m.   Drive out to Walnut Grove UMC, 7215 Walnut Grove Church Rd., 
Hurdle Mills (actually northern Orange Co.), set up canopy, tables, fruits,
drinks.
8:30 a.m.   Late arriving volunteers could meet us directly at Walnut 
Grove.
9:15 a.m.   Expect the first ravenous, thirsty cyclists to arrive.
Noonish   Vacate as 2nd shift arrives, head for home for our own 
personal rest stops.

Thanks for being willing to help out!
