Subject: Very, very impressed with the people running Savageman 2009Decided to volunteer after watching a few videos and hearing about it on BT. It's a few hours away, and was going to be in Dayton that weekend anyways, so I figured what the heck, and I would love to try and tackle it next year in 2010. They notified me and told me what I would be doing and I responded, just figured I would never hear from them again. Have gotten emails stating exactly what I would be doing, offered me up a chance for places to stay for free and or cheap, how to cut costs, where to ride if I wanted to experience it, chances to hang out with the team, words of encouragement, pretty much a 2 page email, also help with fund raising for a local charity that I help and then even gave me the job of jotting down all the people that make it up the Westernports wall so I could get the full expierance. Dunno if that is how other are treated when they volunteer, but every time I've done anything to help or volunteer to help out I usually get an email, the equivalent of a Tweet if i'm lucky! Never volunteered for a tri event though. Really, just wanted to have a weekend out of town and see something cool, now I really wanna help them out for this event as possible. They seem very, very passionate about the event, and what they want it to be in the future. Pretty pumped up about it now. |
