Tartan trot is here

Hey all you awesome youth families. Tartan Trot is here! I was putting race labels on all the bibs last night and saw many of your names. So exciting!

We still need some help packing race bags. If you have any time today to pack come on by church and we will get you all set up. Even 20 min would help a ton.

Also, if you can help clean up tonight from the dinner and tomorrow after the race that would be a big help too. Te more the merrier.

Volunteers, Allison Thorton will be contacting you with details. If you have not been contacted with volunteer details by noon today and you think you should have been, please email me (philbrown@slpres.org). As you can imagine, coordinating this many volunteers can be a challenge and any omission is not on purpose. Thank you for you time and commitment.

It's going to be a great scottish heritage weekend with lots of festivities.

Tartan Trot--Ways you can help

Liz will you send this to the youth, parents, and advisors. thanks, phil 

Hey everyone, 
Tartan Trot is just around the corner and we have runners signing up from all over. As of last night we were around the 800 mark for runners! this is great, but it also means we have a lot to do to get ready. 
Here's what we need: 
1. Next week come by church Monday, Wednesday (FEAST day), Thursday, or Friday in the afternoons before 6:00 and we will have something for you to help with, probably stuffing race bags, hanging banners, sorting t-shirts, getting tables out. 
2. Someone to take some fliers around to the neighborhoods informing them about the race. I can coordinate with you. will take about an hour or so. This needs to happen earlier in the week. 
3. If you want to volunteer for race day please let Allison Thorton know at: aetrtlt@bellsouth.net
4. Drop off your cakes and pies next week in the kitchen, if they need to be in the fridge put them in the walk in. make sure they have your name and tartan trot on them somewhere. We can still use more if you are so inclined. 
5. Remember the Mandatory Volunteer Meeting will be after the Spaghetti dinner on Friday at 7:00pm. Dinner starts at 5:30. 
6. Any old towels that you may have would be handy for the first aide people. put your name on them with masking tape and we will be sure to wash them and get them back to you. 

We are super excited about this year's race and you should be too! We need a lot of help. This race does so much for the youth of this church and for our partners around the world. 

As always, if you have any questions or concerns please let me know. 

Grace and Peace, 
Phil Brown
