Don't worry if you haven't signed up - t
here are lots of ways to be a part of the weekend:
-
The 4th Annual Saint Paul's/TriAugusta Pasta Dinner will be held on
Saturday, September 24th
from
5:30 PM to 8 PM in the River Room. If you would like to volunteer, please arrive at
5 PM. We need volunteers to serve food, serve drinks, refill drinks, check on guests at tables, take dishes from tables to kitchen, and set up for hospitality on race morning. It is a great way to meet new friends from TriAugusta and athletes and spectators visiting Augusta.
- On race morning, we will open the River Room at 5 AM and serve complimentary coffee, water, and refreshments to athletes waiting to start the race as well as their family and friend support teams. Our busiest hours will be between 5 AM and 9:30 to 10 AM. Please join us in the River Room and help us make our guests feel at home. You can help serve refreshments, guide them to the restrooms, or if they are looking for a quiet space for prayer or reelection, you can guide them to the sanctuary. We also need volunteers to help make sure bathrooms are stocked with supplies.
- After the 11 AM service, please join us by the front gates for Lemonade on the Lawn. The runners will be passing in front of the church and we will have a cheer station out front. Thanks to the efforts of Keith Shafer and Cobbs Nixon, the church bells will be playing inspirational music for the runners and we will have cowbells for cheering on the runners and posters of encouragement made by the youth out front. It will be a fun time and a great way to show that Saint Paul's loves Ironman!
It is going to be a great weekend, and we can't wait to see you!
Thanks,
Kim Butler and Terry Johnson
Saint Paul's Ironman Coordinators
