Paul White Road Race Voluteers Needed
Ralph
This message is going out on behalf of Mel, K1ELB, who is looking for volunteers for the annual Paul White Road Race taking place on Sat, July 5th in North Falmouth. Please see Mel’s message below. Hope you can help out!
We are looking for volunteers to help out with the 46th Annual Paul White Road Race in North Falmouth. This is a new volunteer opportunity for FARA. Held every July, the 4.81-mile race begins and ends on Chester Street between North Falmouth Library and Megansett Park (the site of the market owned by Paul White and his wife, Audrey, for many years). This race was created to commemorate local legend Paul White and to serve as the main fundraiser for the North Falmouth Village Association. The monies raised will be used to fund NFVA operating costs and 4 college scholarships for North Falmouth graduating seniors.
This year, the race will be held on Saturday, July 5th, starting at 9:00 am, and typically last 2 hours. Your mission is to report to Net Control when the first runners arrive at your station, when the last runner has passed your station, and report any incidents or problems. A 2-meter HT, preferably with a hi-gain whip antenna, will work in most all locations. It’s also a good idea to wear a hi-visibility traffic vest if you have one, and a callsign badge. Volunteers would need to be in place by 8:30, and should be released when the last runner passes their location.
If you are interested in volunteering, please email Mel Trott, K1ELB at trot...@gmail.com
