Rob - talked with Doug: at Doug's station after 3/4 of the runners went by almost everyone but 3 guys stayed. Doug and the 3 guys had to clean up - put things back in the truck. Doug put things away but he should not have been lifting things.... bad back.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT FUNDRAISER FOR THE CLUB. YOUR EXAMPLE AND DEDICATION FOR THE CLUB CONTINUES TO SHOW WAY AFTER YOUR KIDS HAVE LEFT THE PROGRAM. AS A PARENT OF A CLUB PLAYER AND A TEAMMATE OF YOURS IN THE MASTER PROGRAM WE OWE YOU A DEBT GRATITUDE FOR YOUR SUPPORT. YOU ARE GRAET TEAMMATE BUT EVEN BETTER EXAMPLE OF WHAT A TEAM PARENT IS. THANKS ROB
STATION # 2 EVERYTHING WENT WELL WE HAD GREAT SUPPORT AT THIS STATION HAD TONS OF HELPERS FROM THE HARRAH'S GROUP. ONE SUGGESTION I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE FOR FUTURE EVENT, IS TO HAVE A CONTACT # FOR ALL GROUPS SPONSERING EACH STATION IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THERE IS ENOUGH HELPERS AVAILABLE TO CONDUCT A PROPPER WATER STATION. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND IT WAS FUN WATCHING THE RUNNERS GO BY.
Rob,
Station #14 was great! Lots of screaming from the high-school girls though. Everything went well and Rob helped soo much to make this event go smoother. Again, Thank You Rob!!

Rob, and all the volunteers,
I just want to say that it was a great experience for Adam and I to participate in this fundraiser. Rob, thanks again for all your work with this! You are a pleasure to work with. And so are all the volunteers! I want all of you to know that you are a terrific group of people, and I am very pleased that my son belongs to this team. All of you are an inspiration and wonderful role models for him, in and out of the water!
Station #22 — had a group of Girl Scouts working it. They were nice, but didn't know and/or wanted to download/upload the truck, so Adam did a lot of it. Also, I don't think they cleaned-up much at the end, but we left them at 12:45 pm. It might have been that their instructions were insufficient. — Aniko
I want to second Sandy's comments and thank everyone who sacrificed their day during a very busy part of the year to support OUR team. I am honored to be part of such a great group of people both in and out of the water. Also, thank you for your kind comments, we could not have been successful without all of your combined efforts.

Only problem at station 10 was at the very beginning. We set up on the west side of the street per the diagram. Metro came and told us to move everything to the east side, which we did. Then NLVPD came along and said no, move it back to the west side, so we did. Later a different Metro guy came over and said to move it back to the east side, which we did. This proved to be the correct location. Everything was smooth after that. Set up was easy, volunteers were plentiful and energetic.
