Club Volunteer Opportunities
  Wanted A Few Good Men And Women
Here are some upcoming opportunities where you can help out the Runners' Club of Greater Cincinnati. If you can help out with any of these events, we would greatly appreciate it:
  1. Memorial Day Race 37 - The Memorial Day Race needs 5-6 more volunteers to help out with registration, course sentries,and post race. It would take 2-3 hours of your time. The jobs are easy and you will get the Memorial Day Race 37 technical shirt for your efforts. Volunteering is one of the easiest ways to get to know other club members. Let us know whether you can help by emailing us at cincinnatirunning@gmail.com or sign-up using the club's online volunteer form and checking Memorial Day Race 37.
  2. Midsummer Trail Run Race Committee - Have you ever wondered what it takes to put together a race? Get in on the action! The club is forming a Race Committee for the club's Midsummer Trail Run  to be held on August 8th in Mount Airy Forest. We need assistance with pre-race and race-day organization, promotion, sponsorship, and volunteer coordination. We will have at least three meetings - one in June, July, and August. Please email us at cincinnatirunning@gmail.com.
  3. Ongoing Openings - Currently we have few openings for keeping the club running on an ongoing basis:  Social Chair, Membership Chair, Program Chair, Newsletter Editor and Database Manager. Most positions take 1-2 hours a week of your time. If you can or would like to fulfill one of these positions, please send an email to cincinnatirunning@gmail.com or attend the next board meeting.
