I thought I would share this email from the Lincoln Marathon.


The Lincoln Marathon will be held on Sunday, May 6, 2012.  There are
several opportunities to help with the final preparations the week of the
Marathon.

Packet stuffing will be held at Nebraska National Guard Armory, 10th
Street and Military Road, on Tuesday, May 1, Wednesday, May 2; from 6:30
PM to 9:00 PM each night.  On Thursday, May  3, we will need  a dozen or
so volunteers to help load the packets into the Big Red Storage Truck, we
will start about 6:00 at the Armory.  The entry to the Nebraska National
Guard Armory is via Military Road.  It is the first entrance off 10th
Street on the south side of the Military Ave.   You will need photo
Identification to enter the Nebraska National Guard Armory facilities.

On Saturday, May 5, the Marathon Expo will be held at the Embassy Suites.
 Opportunities to help on Saturday are 7:45 AM -10:00 AM, 10:00  AM –

On Saturday, May 5, looking for  a dozen guys to help set up the Finish
Line at Memorial Stadium and the Start line, 14th and North of Vine.
Ben Cahoon will be heading up this project.  Work will start at 8:00 AM
and hope to be done by 11:00.  This will be at the same time as the
Mayor’s Mile and the Expo.  Contact Glen Moss at
gmoss@commonwealthelectric.com

On Sunday, May 6, volunteers are needed for Packet Pickup from 5:30 –
8:00 AM at the UNL Coliseum.

In closing we are still in need of volunteers to work the Marathon Course
as a course monitor.  You can also help at the start of the race as we
need volunteers to help with the wave start.

Please let us know what and when you would like to do.  You can either
call Lu at 402-423-6150 with your request or reply to this email message.
 If you respond by email and do not receive a response in 48 hours please
call Lu 402-423-6150.

As the number of runners is expected to reach 10,000 this year so every
attempt is being made to reach all volunteers.  Please do not be offended
if you have been solicited for help by more than one type of
communication.  If you have already volunteered, thanks no additional
response is necessary.

In closing we just want to take this opportunity to thank you for helping
make the Lincoln Marathon so successful.
