[Ohio-talk] Volunteer Assignment for the Flying Pig Marathon

[Sheri Albers]

Hello NFB Ohio,

I have been working on securing us a volunteer assignment at the Flying Pig
Marathon which gives us an opportunity to actually get paid for our time,
promoting our organization and giving back to the community! For the three
day event, April 30 - May 2 2016, the PIG needs a total of 6,000 volunteers
and we are now going to be one of the lucky groups among them. We will earn
$500 for our Marching for Independence campaign!

 

Here is the information from the Volunteer Coordinator:

The BLT Station takes place Sunday, May 2, 2016. The location for this
position is out on the half marathon course. The half marathon starts at
6:30am so we request this specific start time so you and your volunteers do
not run into any traffic/road closures getting to the spot on race morning.
On race morning you will arrive to the spot and set up the station with
tissues. Your volunteers will then hand out tissues to any runners/ walkers
in the half marathon. Once they are finished passing you we ask that you
check the area to ensure it is clean of all trash. Your station is on MLK
between Lincoln & Gilbert Ave. Time requested: 6:50am - 9:15am.

 

Here is the agreement for the assignment:
