Volunteers make the all-comers’ meets such a successful community event each year, so please consider helping out.
“Pickers” are needed at the finish line to help determine place winners at all meets. This is a fun way to see all the track events while volunteering. Various other positions also need to be filled. Thank you to our dedicated crew which has consistently provided such a valuable service in the past and an advance thank you to the many who will do so again this year.
For more info on volunteering at all-comers meets, please contact volunteer coordinator Jill Mestler by email ( jmestler@juno.com ) or call (541) 302-9416
The Oregon Track Club thanks all club members, fans and athletes for their past support, and looks forward to another fantastic summer season of action in Track City USA.
