Little Rock’s Team NUSA (Neighborhoods, USA) will be hosting a 5K Fundraiser Race on Nov 5th.  Race participants and volunteers will receive a t-shirt.  For more information on NUSA go to www.nusa.org.  
 
The attachment will show you just what the logo looks like on a race shirt.  To create a very unique shirt for our race, each year the Annual Number will change, a place where the hosting city name will change, and we will use the map of each state that hosts the Annual NUSA Conference, and the year that the conference will be held.  No race shirts will ever look exactly the same, even when we go back to the same city, some 5-10 years later.  There will be at least 2 areas that will always change, and I haven't even mentioned the color changes that will make the shirts look different each year.

REGISTRATION
 
We need a volunteer to supervise and handle processing paper applications and be able to filter them into an on-line registration system.  This person will need to be able to work on Friday Nov 4th from 10-6 at Easy Runner at the Pleasant Ridge Shopping Center to handle the shirt and number pick-up.  This person will be in charge of additional volunteers on race day to handle the group of pre-registered runners and the second group of people registering on the race day.  This position requires someone able to handle data entries well and pay great attention to detail.  Instruction for this position will be provided in advance of the race activities.  At least (4) additional volunteers will be needed to assist this supervisor in this area.
 
FINISH
 
Bill Torrey will be responsible for this area.  He will need at least (5) additional volunteers in this area.
 
FOOD & AWARDS
 
This supervisor will be responsible for obtaining the food, drinks, and awards and having them ready when the runners finish the race.  At least (6) additional volunteers will be needed to assist this supervisor.
 
WATER STOP
 
This supervisor will be responsible for obtaining the water, cups, and tables to dispense the water about half-way along the race course.  There will be at least (6) other volunteers needed for this area.
 
 
VOLUNTEERS
 
We will need a supervisor of volunteers, plus at least (6) additional volunteers to work for this person.
   
We will need at least 4 supervisors, plus at least 27 volunteers at a minimum, to handle this race.  The more volunteers we get in advance, the easier things will be.  Since this race has never been done, we won't know until possibly the days before the event, just how many runners will sign up.  If the numbers swell in the remaining days, we will simply need more volunteers to make this race run smoothly. 
  
Please contact Norm if you would like to be a sponsor or a volunteer!
