[BARC-List] Volunteer at the Jimmy Fund Walk and BAA Half Marathon

[Brett Smith]

September’s here, and that means the fall public service season is
starting up for hams. There are a couple coming up soon, and it’d be
great to have your help at one or both of them:

 1.

    The Jimmy Fund Walk
    <http://www.jimmyfundwalk.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=1145126>
    on Sunday, September 25. This is an all-day walk along the Boston
    Marathon route to raise funds for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
    Hams provide communications for each medical tent along the route
    and the sweep vehicles that serve them.

    To help out, please write me back with your call sign, phone
    number(s), available equipment, and t-shirt size. Please also let me
    know if you have any constraints on your schedule that day—if you
    can’t start before, or must finish by, a particular time.

 2.

    The BAA Half-Marathon
    <http://www.baa.org/races/half-marathon/event-information.aspx> on
    Sunday, October 9. This is the BAA’s annual half-marathon along the
    Emerald Necklace in Boston. Volunteers will need to park at the
    Roxbury Community College before 6:00 AM to report to their
    assignments, and will finish around noon.

    If you haven’t already, you can register to volunteer on the BAA
    site
    <http://www.baa.org/races/half-marathon/event-information/volunteer-information.aspx>.
    When asked for an assignment preference, make sure you select Ham
    Radios. You don’t need to join any group.

If you have questions about either event, please feel free to contact me
at ab1rl at brettcsmith.org <mailto:ab1rl at brettcsmith.org>, or phone
(859) 466 5915. I look forward to hearing you on the air soon!

73,
