Just some thoughts about the Race and the upcoming year..... I had to do some head scratching, .... these guys did a fantastic  job.  We started out short and for a race of this magnitude that does not look good on us. but by the vastness of the coverage area I was able to move guys to 2nd assignment areas and still give support for most of the event.  I had a volunteer come in late who was already at a relay station at 78th and Riverside.  I have searched for the name and can not find it but I have the call as "KE5VAS" and she did a good job once William St John "KD5SAW" got her radio programmed for her.  Williams Route 66 is the largest event that we have worked and I have directed, but let's keep in mind it is a fund raiser for the Untied Way a major supporter for the American Red Cross.  I have not got the numbers yet but it has to be large, but, the budget for this event is also very high so it will be interesting to find out.  For the 2010 year it could double in it's size.  They have already started working on it.  Our members have no Idea what it takes to put something like this on over 5000 volunteers and a committee of 30 or more all volunteers.  They will meet 2 to 3 times per month and every-week during the month be for the race.  Next year i will have to have a pre-race meeting before race day there is to much to get done on the morning of race day, so, you can't wait to the last minute to volunteer.  Well you could but getting them informed and supplied will be difficult to get done.  With Tour de Cure, Maple Ridge, Williams Route 66 Quarter, Williams Route 66, Durathlon, Triathlon, Feild Day 2010, now Dale Scarburg car show a three day event, it is going to be a heavy load to get done so activities will need help to expand and meet the need.   Thanks everyone for the great help and moving around to cover all areas needed.
