There is some urgency for the OWG event as the organizers are ordering t-shirts for volunteers so they need your information by November 30. Here is the link to register with OWG.  **Select your availability for Friday, Saturday, Sunday February 16, 17, 18. Towards the end of the application there is an opportunity to name your SPORT.  **Please select CROSS COUNTRY AND PARA NORDIC SKIING.

Of course, as your Volunteer Coordinator, I am also very interested in your availability for either or both events, the OWG and the OUA. So please contact me for the dates of your availability and which area you prefer to volunteer: Race Office, Outdoor Timing, Indoor Timing, Controllers, Course, Stadium.

I would like to expand the Volunteer Support group to mentor a new Volunteer Coordinator. So especially let me know if you can assist me.

Thank you for your continued involvement in our great sport!
