Hospitality committee needs your input

Teens

Is there going to be a "Teen Club" as there was at Spokane? This year I ask, I am bringing my 15 y/o daughter.

You Bet! I have an enthusiastic 24 year-old BMW rider who is covering that. The teens will have an INCREDIBLE time in Beemerville....

Great, at Spokane, they had a "little" water fight at the wash rack. Of course that was after the water balloon "toss".

Here's another newbie question about volunteering. I want to , but may not be able to commit until shortly before making the trip. Should I speak up now or later?

Volunteering

Thanks for asking. This is a GREAT question. First, a little recent history: Last year we tried something different with the early arrivals: nobody was allowed on the grounds early unless they volunteered for a shift somewhere. This seemed like a great way to ensure that all of the shifts would be filled, and also opened the gates to the BMW riders on Wednesday. (as long as they promised to work a shift somewhere.)

Unfortunately, once on-grounds, many of these folks must have forgotten about their commitment because throughout the rally, the committees were left short-handed because MANY people did not show up for their shifts.

That being said, we definitely need lots of volunteers. We could not do this event without the thousands of volunteer-hours every year. But please - if you DO volunteer, please PLEASE remember to show up for your shift.

And we have some REALLY cool things in store for the volunteers this year - a little "thank-you", as it were.

So thanks in advance. This is going to be really-something!
