Event Coordinator Needed

In only 2 months Budd Bay Rugby will be hosting the 21st annual Tatunka 7's Tournament. Unfortunately, we haven't yet had anyone volunteer to be this year's tournament coordinator. Without a tournament coordinator, the event is in great jeopardy! Mary Shero has run the event (excellently!) for the last few years, and has laid a fantastic framework, making the job as easy as it has ever been. However, we do need someone to step into this role, providing a point of contact for registrants, coordination for equipment rentals and field setup, and problem solving on the day of the tournament. We have lots of info on how to run this event as smoothly as possible, and Mary has agreed to answer questions as needed. PLEASE - IF YOU'RE AT ALL INTERESTED, WE REALLY NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Of course, we still have the following positions available as well:

Vice-President
Treasurer
Special Events Coordinator
If you are interested in filling any of these positions, or any others, please let the club know by filling out our Volunteer Application.

Save The Date - Golf Tournament
September 15, 2013 - mark that date down in your calendars! Ok, your day planner may not go out that far yet, but Budd Bay is already starting to plan for our annual Vision Fund Golf Tournament! Our previous event was a huge success, but this year we are really turning it up a notch. We'll be playing at Delphi Golf Course, a beautiful course out on Delphi Road. Lots more details to come, but be sure to save the date! If you would like to get involved, or know someone who might like to sponsor a hole, please get in touch with Rena who has volunteered to coordinate the event.
