Feb. 27: Snow Tubing, meeting at Barnes and Noble at Libby and Broad at 1:45pm, costs $26 per person.
April 17-18: at VCU, Relay for life, for the American Cancer Society.
Other events coming on the horizon include the spring NASCAR fundraiser, a two day event held on April 30th and May 1st, whitewater rafting on June 12th, and of course the fall NASCAR race, Sept. 10 & 11th. We're working hard to keep coming up with new ideas and projects for the year, so please don't hesitate to suggest to us things that you're interested in raising money for or volunteering at, you never know, it might just end up on the calendar!
I also want to make sure that potential volunteers for NASCAR are aware of a new requirement by Americrown (the company we contract with, that owns the sheds we work) that everyone working the event attend an orientation/ TIPS training, which you can skip if you're already TIPS certified. It's only an hour out of your evening, and there are a couple of evenings to choose from, so please take the time when NASCAR comes around to get yourself certified (it's free), and help Tuckahoe keep participating in this important fundraiser.
I look forward to seeing each of you soon.
Matt Montero
