OJRA Parent Volunteers Needed

Organizing and running the OJRA is a lot of fun, but also requires a lot of time and commitment. Like most organizations, the OJRA relies fully on volunteer efforts. The OJRA Board Members (Ed Boyle, Annette Knoth, Bruce Reid, and Angie Henderson) have each been deeply involved with the OJRA for 4-6 years. The OJRA is actively seeking parent volunteers to organize/perform the following tournament tasks:

Tournament Food
Tournament Medals
Digital Photos

We could use volunteers to organize food, medals and take digital photos, for one or more of the OJRA tourney during the 2006-07 season. Please contact Bruce Reid at breid@tcco.com if you could help out.
