♥WE LOVE OUR PARENT VOLUNTEERS♥
The Junior team depends on Parent Volunteers to help everything run smoothly. Please consider volunteering. Email our Volunteers Coordinators to get involved!
Here are the ways you can help:
FOR REGATTAS – needed for every race
Food Sign ups: Each regatta has a Hospitality table of food and drinks for the rowers and parents. This is pot luck event, where the food is provided by everyone on the team. Food sign ups are sent out for each regatta. It is the expectation that everyone will contribute. When you sign up, we are depending on that food item.
Regatta Set up and Clean Up: Claim our tent space and organize a group of parents to put up our tent and set up tables. At the end of the race, cleaning up our space. taking down the tents and table.
Food Hospitality: Be responsible for keeping the food tables organized and stocked. There is a lot of food and it needs to be displayed and put out at appropriate times. Restock plates, clean up empty containers and coordinate parents to assist.
Grill Master: The team has a grill and the rowers love a hot grilled meal. Be the hero who grills up egg sandwiches in the morning and burgers in the afternoon. The team has grilling tools, but bring your own, if you have some.
SEASON LONG POSITIONS
We are looking for people to take over some of these positions this season and some to shadow the job in preparation for taking the job over fully for the next season. (for more detailed information, please talk to them)
Campbox Coordinator – Campboxes contain all the necessary items for a regatta. Plates, utensils, napkins, platters, serving spoons, etc. The coordinator makes sure these items are stocked and the bins get to the regattas. There is a spending budget from GBR. More Information about The Camp Boxes

Overnight Regatta Planning: Organize, coordinate and help a committee of volunteers planning our overnight regattas. Right now, the Head of the Fish in Saratoga Springs runs in the Fall. However, there may be more Regattas to organize in the upcoming seasons. A helpful template of planning has been created. We need a new set of parents to help with this task, Liz and Lisa have retired with their graduating seniors.
