I hope this helps alert people to the various opportunities available for participation. Obviously, there is also team assistance needed. If you walk on a team, there is a need to coordinate decorating, organize individual team fundraisers, help with accounting on individual teams and recruit team members. Your teams will benefit by dividing up responsibilities just as you would for the event, so that the team captain is not left working on everything. Also, if you have items that need to be addressed on the facebook page or on this "unofficial" website, feel free to email me.
