Our MS staff is supporting us (the hams) favorably, they promised that van rental is available local in San Antonio, Austin, or Dallas box truck or SAG van. Hams picking up their SAG or Box truck would return it back to original pickup location where they got it, not drive back to Houston to return it.
Also MS will provide paid for hotel rooms (Crowne Plaza) on Friday night, plus the usual free bunks at the church camp on Saturday night. We’re still working to arrange designated refueling gas stations around like last yr.
It’s our 25th yr & with registration already closed at 13,000 riders, I don’t anticipate problems with the event, other than normal. Some break points have been moved to new locations on the route due to size problems.
My top priority right now is to staff 12 bus/box combos all with ham ! They will do the breakpoints and vans side of roads, except medical non urgents.
Please email me if you want to volunteer.
Thx
Sue Shirk, SAG Coordinator for Hams
Note from Lee: I’ve worked this event for the past 3 years, and have already signed up for the 2009 event. Fun bunch to work with, they take care of you really well, plus pay the hotel to stay in. I highly recommend volunteering for this one. – Lee 210-771-7075 cell or info@sanantoniohams.org for email.
