WE NEED COURSE MARSHALS!

The race is less than 3 weeks away and we hope that you are turning in your entry forms. But if you also know of someone who would like to volunteer to be a course marshal, we would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Please complete the volunteer application form and fax it to Lorrie Kanno at 671-7985.

If you know of students that need community service hours then this is a quick and EASY opportunity for them to earn hours.

IF the student is under 18 years old we will need parents to attend as well.

COURSE MARSHALS WILL NEED TO BE AT THE LEEWARD YMCA MOKUOLA STREET PARKING LOT BY 5:45a.m. FOR BRIEFING AND ASSIGNMENTS.
