Volunteers Needed For The Springtown All-American Bicycle Boo Ride – 26 October 2024

From Bob Ballard, KG5SQJ:

Volunteer opportunities for the “Springtown All American Bicycle Ride 10/26/2024” (aka the “Springtown BOO Ride”) are now open.  This is a relatively short Bicycle Ride event that starts at 8:00 AM and typically ends slightly earlier than 2:00 PM.  Thad Weikal (KG5ATD) typically serves as EOC Ride Control but Thad has a schedule conflict during this year’s event so I will be serving in that role this year.

Please click on the following web link (or copy it into your web browser if clicking doesn’t work) to go to the signup sheet:

https://volunteersignup.org/XM8QT

To sign up, just follow the instructions on the page (Note – please add your Call Sign in parentheses immediately after your first name).  For example, Bob (KG5SQJ) .

Maps, Support Information and ICS-205 Documents will be emailed to Volunteers shortly before the event.  Thanks for volunteering!

Let me know if you have any questions.

73,
Bob Ballard – KG5SQJ
