Hi everyone –

As Coach Villeneuve mentioned in his last email, “we will be given $1200 for providing 40 volunteers for the Black Diamond Triathlon on Sunday, Sept. 16th from 7 am to 1 pm. The kids are signing up and the logistics will be coordinated by the booster club, as I have family commitments in Oregon that weekend. We have helped at the Kirkland Triathlon the past two years and this has been a valuable experience for all involved. It looks great on the resume and college applications!”

The triathlon takes place at Nolte State Park near Enumclaw, and we need drivers for carpools to get the kids there.  We should plan to be on the road by 5:45 a.m. according to Google Maps so that we arrive no later than 7 a.m.

Please reply and let me know if you can drive to and from and the number of passengers you can accommodate.   With 40 volunteers going, we need about 11-12 drivers assuming 3-4 volunteers in each car.   I’ll let you know as soon as we have enough drivers, and we’ll work out details to make it as easy as possible given the early departure!   If you have questions, please email me at jjjjstevens@comcast.net or call me at 425-260-7054.

Entrance to Nolte State Park address:
36921 Veazie Cumberland Road
Enumclaw, WA 98022

Google Maps has 3 suggested routes.  All are about the same mileage (44 miles) and drive time (1 hour 13 minutes) from Redmond High School:  http://goo.gl/maps/zpzHW

As always, thank you for your help.  In addition to the experience and resume builder for the kids, the $1,200 helps cover our 2012 budget!   Our budget includes 2012 team t-shirts  for all athletes and coaches, two additional tents for our athletes at meets, some smaller equipment/supplies coaches may need, healthy snacks at our weekday meets, and our annual team videoJ
