Re: RC: volunteers

[Linda Cowles <linda_cowles@mentorg.com>]

I was going to mention the NATRC volunteer program. In region I, they
have a P&R group that works most of the rides.

Most of these folks are spouses or friends of riders, and they make
volunteering so enjoyable that I did a lot of it... rode point and drag,
marked trails - even was a ride secretary once! I've only ridden one
ride, I enjoy it very much but had a horse that couldn't do it before
because of shoeing, and another that doesn't trailer tie. I want to do
more this year on Kadance.

The region I P&R folks have baseball hats with P&R on them... I don't
wear caps, but... the group associating is neat.
