Raleigh Rays,

TONS of important information in this so please read carefully!!!

We have a new and updated volunteer list! I have gotten some helpful feedback and suggestions on ways to ensure our meets go smoothly!

First off, I have added 8 timers total. I know many of you have younger children which makes a long volunteer shift hard to accommodate. The first shift will be from 5:30 PM -7:30 PM. The second from 7:30 PM-9:30 PM. This way you can volunteer, as well as get to enjoy the meet! We are shooting for 4 timers each shift. 3 main, and 1 floating. As a floating timer your main responsibility is to relieve a timer if they need a restroom break, water, etc. I have also added extra kid pushers! We need as many volunteers as possible!

Please keep in mind that if we don’t get these added positions filled by Tuesday, those of you who signed up to volunteer through the original time slot (5:30-9:30) will be expected to stay through the duration of the meet.

Details regarding our meet Tuesday, June 27 against Hawthorne:
