Volunteer Opportunity-Stonebrae Classic
April 12-18, 2010
It's time to start recruiting volunteers for next year's Nationwide Tour Stonebrae tournament in Hayward, (if there's enough interest, maybe we can take over the Marshal duties on one hole like we do at LPGA Blackhawk).
The cost will only be $40 instead of the usual $70. Those that work at least 4 shifts -2 days - will be able to participate in one of the volunteer golf outings, TPC San Francisco Bay at Stonebrae (dates to be announced). Each volunteer will also receive a pullover shirt, a hat or visor, volunteer credentials, parking, meals during your volunteer hours and 3 admission tickets.
Tournament dates are April 12 through April 18, 2010 (we have not been told when we will have marshals on the course but expect to work shifts beginning on Wednesday April 14th through Sunday April 18th).
If you or anyone else (they don't have to be EWGA members) want to check it out and/or sign up click here. If you sign up, please put EWGA Northeast Bay in the Group Affiliation block so we can group our volunteers together.
If you have any question you can also contact Alice Miller: 925-382-4576 or alice@sunnyneon.com.
