Age Class Team Parents and Volunteering

For the 2011-2012 season we are looking to increase the level of participation by our members in managing our events on the mountain.  In particular, we are going to have the parents of each age group support the race day events for their respective races.  It is important that we have our parents on the hill in volunteer positions so that we can run the events efficiently and effectively.

Each age group needs to have two lead parents who can assist Tom Ziegler and Toni Harkins in organizing the race day volunteers.  This will entail making phone calls to parents in the age group and organizing the volunteers in coordination with Tom and Toni.

We will be using a web based volunteer management program to assist in securing and organizing our volunteers.

 

All members of the BOC should log into http://bocracecrew.volunteerhub.com , provide your contact info and sign up for a minimum of two volunteer commitments.  Keep in mind that with over 350 volunteer spaces that need to be filled we really need our members to commit to more than two volunteer commitments.

 

If you would like to volunteer for your age group or have any questions about volunteering on the mountain please contact Tom Ziegler by email at wtzieglervt@gmail.com or by phone at 203 856 6956.

As you may know our 60th birthday party(12/10/11) is kicking off our first weekend here at Bromley. Please be sure to reserve your ticket ASAP, they are going fast. We would love to see folks from all the 6 decades join us at the Southern Vermont Arts Center to enjoy fine food, friendship and frolicking. We are all truly lucky to be part of  an organization so steeped in history and community service as the BOC. Call us at the club for your ticket today.

Last night we received a couple of inches of snow and the snow guns are working overtime to provide us with skiing for SUNDAY morning. The lifts are scheduled to start at 9, we would like to see everyone at the club to help us start the new season. Groups will be meeting at 8.30 in front of the club. Please keep in mind that terrain will be limited and many other groups will be sharing the limited trails. We would suggest that you leave those new skis at home for this first weekend. As the Bromley website has posted, fast skiing(GS turns) will not be tolerated. At 11 we will have our parent informational meeting in the Boar’s Head. This is your chance to ask those questions you always wanted to, we will also have Dr. Matt Gammons talk with us about concussions and how they effect your athlete. Lead coaches will break out in to smaller groups for your questions and information about their programs.

As always please feel free to contact us here at the club with any questions or concerns. For up to the minute information please like our facebook page, Bromley Outing Club.

There is a Club meeting Sunday starting at 11am in the Boar.  Dr Gammon will be give us a presentation on concussions covering the facts and misconceptions regarding this injury.  His presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.  I have had long conversations with him and I guarantee you will find the information fascinating  Following Dr Gammon’s presentation Tom Zieglar, “HILL BOSS” will discuss the various opportunities for volunteerism. We will conclude with a group break out meeting with your coach to cover expectations for the upcoming season.  Topics will include equipment requirements, race schedules, training progression and communication. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ATTEND THIS MEETING!!!!……thanks and THINK SNOW     Stephan
