Festival Report #2

by Roger Pierce

For bicyclists in Gainesville, this is THE big event of the year!  We'd like to see a lot of our members participating and enjoying being part of a major cycling event.  It's easy to sign up for a ride using the link in the Members Area, News page.

With only four weeks to go to the Festival, we're coming down to crunch time to fill our volunteer slots.  As usual, our biggest needs are for rest stop workers on Sunday, and SAG drivers both days.  Check out http://gccfla.org/cgi-bin/gcfvolrich.cgi for full info on available volunteer postions and for the benefits we give you as a volunteer.

Our most critical positions are a few management ones that must be filled in order for us to put on the event. We're working on leads for most of these, but will put out a general call soon if they are not filled.  The one position that we need help with NOW is the Crew Chief for the Stable Party on Friday evening at the Boys Club.  We're looking for someone with catering experience who can prepare the spread and manage the persons helping serve that evening.  Email or call me at 378-7063 if you're interested.
