*****************

Thank You to all who have volunteered so far for the Jingle Bell Run.
My key positions have been filled.
I need 17 Road Guards.
This race is a lot of fun to watch, cheer on the crowd with holiday spirit.
This also makes a great race for families to volunteer and especially for those teenagers who need community service hours.

Please consider sharing an hour or two of your time.
BCRR would greatly appreciate it.

Please email me at Samantha_mcmurtrey@hotmail.com

Many thanks in advance

Tis the season to be merry!  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE volunteer!
