It’s almost that time again, the 44th annual Hood To Coast Relay is just around the corner. (Really, it will be here before we know it!). The race will be held August 28th & 29th. The success of this event each year greatly depends on the many volunteers that keep it running. Our communications volunteers are a critical part of that group. We sincerely appreciate the hours, dedication, and professionalism you have shown in the years past and hope you will be part of the event again this year.Just to let you all know we have been having some email troubles. If you reach out to me through jason@w7htc.com and I don’t get back to you in 3 days email me at jason.w7htc@gmail.com or feel free to text me at 253-347-5356. 
 
Shift Coverage We will be using the same scheduling process this year as in years past.
For those who are unfamiliar with the process, the following explains how it will work. Please log on to w7htc.com  to verify your desire to repeat your previous shifts or change the shifts you would like to cover. This is also where to find new HAM volunteer registration. If you could confirm your shift within the next 2 weeks I would be eternally grateful. You do this simply by logging in to the W7HTC site and checking what you’re signed up for, and making any adjustments you wish.  In about 3 weeks I’ll be clearing the shifts of anyone who hasn’t logged on to confirm their shifts. If you are unable to login to the registration site or you are having problems of any kind reach out to Jason. Race Control shifts are not listed on the website. If this is a position that you are interested in volunteering for please contact either Chad or Jason for availability. We appreciate the willingness of everyone to support as net control however, due to the size of this event, volunteers must have previous net control experience for the race control positions. As always, please pass this email on to anyone you feel might be interested in volunteering for this event or to anyone who has volunteered in the past but may not have received this email for some reason.  Every position is important so if for any reason you will be unable to cover your scheduled shift, after confirming for this years event, please cancel your shift on the website and contact Jason by email so that we can find coverage.
 
Online forms
The information in our shared drive is still from last year. We will be updating it for this year as time goes on.  You can also access them from the registration website under the “important information” tab. The link to the folder can be found HERE. More information will be available as we get closer to the race.
 
 
As always, please feel free to contact Chad or myself if you have any questions or concerns. Please share this with anyone you think will be interested in volunteering. 
  Thank you and regards,
