MIZUNO COVERED BRIDGE (home meet, Sept 12, 2015, Garrard Landing Park)
We are still in need of about 20 parents who can volunteer at the Covered Bridge meet. We have more than 80 families with runners on our team and only about 40 families have volunteered to help (many of these families have more than one volunteer). We need everyone’s help. Please click the following link and sign up to support the RHS XC team!! http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c094aada62ca13-rhsxcmizuno

As always, if you have questions, please contact Joan McCarty at joanmccarty05@gmail.com

This year’s RHS XC home meet, Mizuno Covered Bridge, is being held at Garrard Landing Park on September 12, 2015. This is the only fundraiser for our team. We don’t ask runners trot around their neighborhoods selling Hornet cards or candles or grapefruit or chocolate bars. This one-and-done event for fundraising requires the participation of all XC families.

Our Covered Bridge Committee has been working since early March to make this meet our best ever. Now, we need the help of everyone. A number positions still need to be filled to make our event a success.

Below is the link to sign up for various positions (parking attendants, chute monitors, course monitors, admissions, concessions). Those who have already volunteered (thanks!) are already on the list. (Please check the link to confirm you are signed up).

Also included on the Sign Up Genius page is a listing of items we’d like to borrow (tables, chairs, tents) for the race.

Using Sign-Up Genius is easy. If you already have an ID, you’re set, use that. If you don’t, please sign up. It’s free and you don’t get spam as a result.

Three items related to time trials:

  1. We are asking each family to bring (to the time trials) a donation of 2 cases of water (this will be used for our home meet and fundraiser, Covered Bridge, to be held Sept 12 at Garrard Landing Park)
  1. Seating at the picnic area is limited and it’s suggested that families bring folding chairs and/or blankets
  1. Student drivers are to leave the school immediately after the last bell and go directly to Don White Memorial Park. Students who need transportation to the river will ride the bus down. There will be NO return transportation. If a runner’s family is not attending the picnic, that runner needs to find a ride home! Please arrange this ahead of time. Bus will leave the senior parking lot at 3:45 p.m. DO NOT change clothes before getting on the bus. If you miss the bus to the river, you will have to find another way to get there. Bus will not wait for anyone.
