HELP WANTED


Everyone looks forward to the Tee-Off event (formerly Kickoff) that marks the start of the EWGA season. It's a chance to reconnect, find out what's new, and perhaps win a prize.  We have a great program planned, and it would be even better with more people involved.

We are looking for people to help both before and on the day of the event. The specific jobs are tasks like formatting handouts, printing name tags, helping vendors set up, helping at registration or just introducing new and potential members to your friends.

If you would like to help, please email Leadership and let us know if you are available to help out in early March, just on the 18th, or both. A member of the Tee-Off team will contact you to work out a specific assignment.

Thank you in advance for considering helping out.
