PARKING SHIFTS
Parking will be a heavy lift as it is a responsibility that will last the entire day (5am - 4pm) and we estimate needing ~110 volunteers. To that end, we humbly ask that all members and parents of junior members sign up for a shift.
Each shift is 60 minutes in length with specific times assigned and arrival times noted on this sheet. Specific locations and roles will be assigned the day of the event. Sign up or learn more here.
