Need some volunteers: Toad Suck Tri fest (Conway, Sep 10-11)

[Tim Eubanks]

Toad Suck Tri Fest is at lake Beaver Fork near Conway, September 10 and 11. The organizer needs three kayaks each day for swimmer safety/support. Saturday boats need to be in the water at 6:40am, race finished by 8:30. Sunday boats need to be in the wter at 7:40, race finishes at 8:45.

If interested, email me at timeubanks@yahoo.com and I'll put you in touch with the folks who know more.

I think we need a more exciting title to gather more interest!

From the time stamps, it appears this post has been up 3 hours, and has 3 views so far. How many times have you viewed it Tim? Maybe the "real" count is even lower.

Perhaps a better title would have been "HUNDREDS MIGHT DROWN IN CENTRAL ARKANSAS!" (and then the thread could then ask for volunteers to help prevent that)

Hey, Timothy and I would love to help!!

The organizer needs three kayaks each day for swimmer safety/support.

Why are they hating on open boaters? Awwwwwwwwwwwww, never mind!

[Cowper]

Because they don't know how AWESOME a really good open boater is.

(too bad we don't have the little huggie smilie any more)

[Roger]

You mean that one?

[Cowper]

Yeah, that one. But being a yaker, I was too lazy to go find it if it wasn't in the easy pick box to the left.

Cowper
I haven't viewed the post other than the initial submission.
Edgar: Great!

Maybe "Your chance to be a Hero" or "Kayakers to save lives"?

Volunteers will get event t shirts and lunch and be eligible for prize drawings.

[Cowper]

Now you're talking!

FREE T-SHIRTS! FREE LUNCH! PRIZES!

(I'm wondering, maybe you REALLY should edit the title???)

(Since it is only 2 miles from my house, I'm kinda planning to go no matter what banner it is posted under)

I've already posted my interest on the General Discussion board, but I'll re-iterate my interest here. Saturday will be iffy because of work, sunday I can make for sure. Also, I won't need to borrow a boat this year.
Tim, PM or call me to talk shop.

[Tim Eubanks]

Good deal, Jon. I'll send a group email to volunteers next week with contact info, etc.

[robcmullins]

Still need volunteers, or have you got everyone?

[Cowper]

I think more are still needed. Also, since it is a two day event (even if only a couple of hours required each day), I know there will be some who can't do it both days.

If I get some more specific details, I'll add to this thread.

[Edgar]

Your right Cowper, Timothy and I can only help on Saturday. I still haven't heard any details.

[Tim Eubanks]

I gave the contact info to the event coordinator with hopes he'd get with you guys. DLTevents@gmail.com is his email, Fred Phillips is his name.
