With the start of a new season, we have new volunteer opportunities at CRI! There is a bit of something for everyone whether it be setting up for a social event or cleaning the ergs.

For right now our greatest volunteer need is help with the Garage Sale.  CRI’s garage sale will be held at the Daly Skating Rink on Saturday, May 30th from 8:00am to 4:00pm and CRI will need over 100 volunteers to make the event a success.

Please take a look at the below event summary and email Meredith Sciarrio at: msciarrio@gmail.com.  When you email Meredith, provide your name, program, the shift(s) you would like to volunteer and your cell phone number.

3 GREAT REASONS TO SUPPORT THE GARAGE SALE:

1. All proceeds from the sale will go toward the purchase of new equipment ie: wakeless launches;
2. All donations are tax deductible;
