Frontier Park- canoe race, bikes, volunteer!

Metro Coalition News:

Hi Everyone,

I just want to alert you to a volunteer opportunity coming up in August.  Greenway Network (I talked about this non for profit at the last coalition meeting) is sponsoring a canoe/kayak race August 27th which ends in Frontier Park in St Charles.  There will be a small festival in the park as the canoes and kayaks finish their race.  We need volunteers to help support the festival (hand out T shirts, supervise kids play area, set up tents, etc) from about 9am-7pm.  Most groups are assigned a 1-2 hour shift depending on your availability.  The river levels have been very unpredictable this year, which has put us behind on everything!

If you'd like to volunteer, you can either respond to me or e mail greenwaynetwork@gmail.com to sign up.  We'd appreciate your help!

Secondly, we are adding FREE bike rides to our festival this year to celebrate the opening of the new section of the Katy Trail.  There is going to be both a 5 mile ride and a 25 mile ride led by some Very Important Nature People (DNR maybe?  State park employees? not sure who). More information about the bike ride here: http://www.racefortherivers.org/the-rides.php.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks for your time,
Kelly Heidt
Christ the King, St Peters
