 The 10th Annual Rein in Sarcoma "Party in the Park" offers great volunteer opportunities for individuals, families and groups. We need you now to help plan, organize, and promote the Monday evening, July 26th event.
We will need close to 200 volunteers in many capacities on the day of the event, with volunteers needed from about noon until midnight. At the moment we have particular needs for help on children's arcade games (shifts between 6:00 and 9:00) and the late shift (9:15 pm on) for clean up. If you have not completed a volunteer form this year, we ask that everyone sign up, so we can have up to-date info on you and your volunteer interest for the event.

Get the Word Out!
|
 Share the celebration with your family and friends, and help us reach the community. Everyone can help, in many small ways. We will have RIS 2010 Party in the Park posters for distribution at the June 10th "All Hands" meeting. Come and take some for your office, church or wherever else you can think to put them. Long time sponsor, Park Midway Bank will be mailing RIS Bank stuffers to all its customers this month which contain information about the red flags that may alert people to this often missed and misdiagnosed cancer. Get these at the June 10th meeting and give them to your friends and neighbors.
We would love to have Twitter and Facebook coordinators, so please let us know if you have the gift for pith.
Do you have any major media contacts, or would you be willing to reach out? Watch for suggestions about how to use your personal networks, and plan to include information about the event in your local and community newsletters.
