FYI: Volunteers

This probably won't change anything but just wanted the Energizer Runnies to know our volunteer status. My husband, Carl, switched from just a regular volunteer to "Course Manager". His volunteer hours count for 3 volunteers. So.... if something comes up with one of the volunteers on our team they could probably call Ragnar and get out of it. Just a thought;)

Team 2! team 2! Calling team 2!

Hey ladies!  Was anyone able to come up with a third volunteer or should we pay for the last one?  It would be $10.00 a person to pay for that last one.  What's the verdict team 2?  We only have until tomorrow to have the option of paying for one.  Thanks

Running through my mind for days now!

This has been on my to do list for a few days now.... well ever since we got that lovely 'oh by the way we changed the course on you guys' email.  I think I have made the appropriate adjustments to keep everyone happy and laughing for all 187.6 miles!  So here is the new breakdown of the legs, after that I will give you the new lists of leg assignments  :)  (I don't think that made sense but you'll figure it out)

Ok now that we all have our legs assigned (oh and don't worry I am sure they will change them a little bit again - we had changes the night before)  here are all the other things on my mind.... maybe not all but all the things you need to know  :)

Ok for vehicles:  Team #1 looks like we are going to be using Kari and Chelle's vans.  Team #2 Melanie and Cameo you are up.  If there is a problem with this let me know ASAP so we can get it worked out.  

Reflective Vest's... Head Lamps... and LED's .... here we come! 

Team #1:  Vests - Amy H., Erin, and Chelle   Head Lamps - Jenny O., Erin, ???   LED's - ???, ??, ?

Team #2:  Vests - Amy P., Sarai, ?   Head Lamps - Amy P., Cameo, ?   LED's - ???, ??, ?

As you can see we need some LED's.  In Texas we thought they meant either head lamp or LED but when we went to check in we had to have both... lucky for us we had them in our vans because we were all over packed, but yes we need both!

Volunteers:  Shift sign up opens up tomorrow at 9!  If you have someone that is picky about what time they are working I would suggest they be on the computer at 9 am tomorrow... or you should be for them!  Have we had any one find any for sure volunteers?  We only have 1 more week to get this wrapped up so we can pay for them if we need to.  If you have them please let me know ASAP.  If you have someone signing up Mommies Got Back is team #382 and Energizer Runnies is Team #536 in case you need them.  

Ok my brain hurts now... so I know I asked you to email me for several things... I can't remember what... but I love to get mail  :)  Erin  info@theribbonspot
