Volunteers Needed For Amgen Tour STAGE 8

,

ToCTHOUSAND OAKS, CA – As you may well know, the 2014 Amgen Tour of California is right around the corner, running from May 11-18, 2014. This year, the final stage, STAGE 8, is returning to the beautiful city of Thousand Oaks, CA. Stage 8, a circuit race, is also the overall finish to this year’s Tour.

Volunteers Still Needed

Fellow Cycles Veloce/Team Simple Green club members Brenda and Erick Pyne have  signed up as volunteers for this final stage, and felt this would be a great way for Cycles Veloce members to show their support of domestic pro cycling. Brenda forwarded the following note from the Stage 8 Volunteer Coordinator, stating that volunteers to work the event are still needed:

My name is Kathy Lowry and I am the Stage 8 Volunteer Coordinator. I work for the City of Thousand Oaks in the Public Works Department where I wear “many” hats; one of which is the Amgen TOC volunteer coordinator.

We are in need of additional volunteers to help with the Amgen Tour of California! Perhaps you can help us at Stage 8 in Thousand Oaks.  The start of Stage 8 is at 8:30 a.m. and the overall finish is anticipated to be by noon.

An informational meeting and training is scheduled for April 28 at 6:00 p.m. in the Scherr Forum Theatre located at the Civic Art Plaza, 2100 Thousand Oaks Blvd.  Please attend!! There will be several raffles and light refreshments.  The meeting should last and hour and a half.

The City NEEDS Volunteers to make the event a success! Those interested in helping out can sign up at http://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com/footer/volunteer.  Be sure to CHECK THE BOX FOR STAGE 8 (THOUSAND OAKS).

Any questions or concerns call at (805) 449-2416 or e-mail me  –  Kathy Lowry

Note that the April 28th meeting is NOT mandatory, as they understand that it’s not feasible for many of the volunteers who live too far from the area to attend. Everyone who is signed up will automatically receive the Powerpoint and summary notes from the meeting.

Sign-Up Deadline May 9th

You can sign up via the Amgen Tour of California website through May 9th. Be sure to check the box for Stage 8 (Overall Finish): Thousand Oaks (Circuit Race).

Work Together as a Group

Club members can request to be grouped together the morning of the event, at the time the volunteers pick up their packets, but the group must be present together. Therefore, it is beneficial to car pool (not to mention there will be very limited parking at the event).

 

Car Pool to the Event

Make Use of the Club’s Forums

Considering the distance to Thousand Oaks, it is recommended that Cycles Veloce club members car pool to the event. The most convenient way to organize this is to make use of the club’s Forums section.
