Hey everyone. It’s our last MSM, so we will have a lot of middle schoolers and I need a lot more staff help and volunteers. Please let me know if you can come volunteer from 6:45 pm – 10:45 pm. Thanks.
Also, we need about four people to help out this Saturday morning at the Great Update from 9:30 am – Noon. Please get back to my on both of these volunteer opportunities by Thursday night. Thanks.

This is my second e-mail of the day about raising money for the 5K race, so I am very serious about this money we need to raise. I have talked to several Leaders’ today who said that no one wants to donate money for this cause. That simply is not a valid excuse. People will donate money if you ask the right way. For example:
This past Saturday, volunteers asked for donations at our Soccer games throughout the day. With only several people asking, they raised $17,000. Yes, they raised this much money simply by asking people to donate. We need to raise $3,000 and runners get free food, a t-shirt, prizes and the chance to spend the day running in a great event – all for just $10 or $20.
This is non-negotiable. We need to raise $3,000, which gets us just a little more than half way to our $5,000 goal for the year. We can do this, we need to do this. Please prove to me that you are a Leader, and you will do everything in your means to raise your share. Even if you do not hit your goal, please show me that you tried your best. As an example, Meg and Annie handed out letters to people with self-addressed envelopes to sign up for the race. This is very creative and worked. Please show me that you care about our club, and that we can raise $3,000. If Sports could raise $17,000 in one afternoon, we surely can raise 18% of this amount – and we’ve had nearly two months to do so. Thanks.

Hi all. Just a reminder that everyone’s pledge sheets for the 5K race is due this coming Tuesday, May 6th. It’s VERY important to have people sign up for the race as it is directly linked to the Outreach money we receive. We need to raise $5,000 for Outreach this year, and this is the perfect opportunity to raise at least $3,000 – which is what we have pretty much spent since January already without raising a single dollar.
All you have to do is sign people up on the form provided (attached to this e-mail) and tell them how to register online or at the YMCA. We will then match the name on your form with our race roster to make sure they registered. And yes, you can accept donations even if people are not going to run in the race. Everyone needs to raise $100 – which is any combination of runners (five 5K runner or ten Fun Run etc.)
Also, here are the names I have for upcoming volunteer events:
