Booster Request for Edw Invite Help Sat

Thanks to all of you who helped last week at the Tiger and Liberty
invitational meets. Both meets seemed to run very smoothly.

This week 26 teams come to our course for the Edwardsville Invitational
on Saturday morning, September . The meet begins at 9 am, but we need
volunteers to help set up starting at 6:30 am. We need help getting
ice, water, setting up tents, concessions, etc. If you can't make it
that early, we will also need volunteers to sell t-shirts and
concessions, as well as help in the chute during the races.

This is a big meet. We need as many volunteers as we can possibly get.
Please contact Dave Goodhue (261-8811, dgoodhue@casinoqueen.com) or me
(numbers below) and let one of us know if you can help. We will try to
let you know in advance where you are needed.

Thanks again. See you Saturday.
