\"\"ACES (Athletes Committed to Educating Students)<\/a>, an after-school tutoring\/mentoring program for urban youth in the Twin Cities, is looking for volunteers to help along the bike course of the Life Time Fitness Triathlon<\/a>. This nationally televised event is taking place on Saturday July 12th at Lake Nokomis in South Minneapolis. As a
\nnonprofit partner for this event, ACES will receive financial and in-kind contributions from Life Time Fitness in return for providing 50+ volunteers. These contributions will go a long way in helping ACES provide quality after-school programs for over 400 Twin Cities youth!<\/p>\n

This is a very enjoyable, low-stress, laid back event. In fact, volunteers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs to sit on, and wear comfortable, weather appropriate clothes. All volunteers will receive a t-shirt, goodie bag (snacks, water, etc.), and a Twins ticket voucher (2 tickets for $1).<\/p>\n

Volunteer duties include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cheering on the athletes<\/li>\n
  2. Warning bike riders of upcoming turns<\/li>\n
  3. Notifying race officials of any injuries<\/li>\n
  4. Warning pedestrians of oncoming racers<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Volunteers are welcome to sign-up in groups and volunteer together.\u00a0\u00a0 Children can volunteer as well, but anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.<\/p>\n

    Volunteers will be in groups of 2-4 (or more) and will be placed at intersections along beautiful West River Parkway in South Minneapolis.\u00a0 Volunteer check-in is 6:00am and volunteers will need to be at their
    \nassigned intersection from approximately 7am-12:30pm. The check-in station will be in the Dairy Queen parking lot, located at 4740 Minnehaha Ave. Minneapolis, MN 55406. For a map of the meeting
    \nlocation, click     here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    If you are interested, please contact, Tom Basquill<\/a> or call 612-331-3454.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
