Upcoming volunteer opportunities

Two volunteer opportunities have come up that I wanted to let you know about:

First is the upcoming Wayland Boosters telethon. I received this note recently from them:

We would like to hold the telethon again, on the evenings of October 6th, 13th and 20th, starting at 6 pm, in the school offices. We are asking you, along with your team captains, to organize 3 or 4 athletes from your team to attend one of the telethons to make phone calls. Letters were sent to Wayland families in early September asking for donations to the Boosters. The athletes will be calling the parents of other student athletes to follow up on the letters, mention the projects we are hoping to fund (the second bus, new scoreboard, and other needs your team may have) and ask for a donation. There will be a script provided for prompting the athlete callers. The students can use school phones or their own phones. Food and drinks will be provided. We will be ending by 7:30 each evening.
If you could please let us know the availability of your team’s athletes for participation in this telethon we would greatly appreciate it! Please help us to help you have a successful season!!

 If you're interested please let me know which date you'd prefer so I can let them know.

Second is Pam's Run which is a local road race held at the Claypit Hill School on October 18th. Yesterday I got this note from the race director:

I basically need volunteers to direct runners, hand out water and cheer for runners along the course. The time frame is 8:30 to 11:30 am on October 18th at Claypit Hill Elementary School. If any of your runners are interested in volunteering, they can sign up through the Pam's Run website by clicking on the "Volunteer" button: http://pamsrun.com/

 Last year we had multiple team members helping out at this race, and we'd like to see that happen again. When you sign up let them know that you're a member of the WHS cross country team.
