Volunteer at a Sea Otter Gran Fondo Rest Stop Saturday October 9!

Hello Fellow Velo Club Members,

You can earn $ for our club, some goodies for yourself, and help the Sea Otter Classic at the same time!
 
Sea Otter now has an online sign-up platform for volunteers.
We have two rest stop locations and will need 10 volunteers at each site.
 
Information on how to sign-up was sent to all Velo Club Members last week on September 15th.
 
Hope you can help us make this happen!
 
Thank you,
