For several years now SnF has participated in the MS TRAM, the ride across MN. It is fun to do this type of ride with special friends all coming together for a common good. This event like all rides is a great opportunity to meet new friends as well. In the past I volunteered and worked with Marge at rest stop 4. It is a truly WONDERFUL experience and lots of fun working with her. Below is the information that applies to this year’s TRAM Rest Stop 4 and Marge is wondering if anyone in our group would be interested in volunteering ..........
Please contact Marge! Riders like myself, look forward to seeing your smiling faces at Rest Stop 4!!!!!

This year there are only Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday that have 4 rest stops.
Locations are:
Monday: Rice Lake Church in Cleremont, Mn.
Tuesday: United Methodist in Lansing, Mn.
Wednesday: Preston Trailhead
Basically it is to set up the tables, tents. Make sandwiches, stock the treats given out. Make the gator aid and then take it all down. Typically they can eat a peanut butter sandwich or bring their own food. They get a volunteer t-shirt and we make it as much fun as we can. Golden Gear this year will not be at my rest stop-so we don't have that extra set up.
Depending on how this works out, they can drive down for one day or camp with the group for the entire three days. I am staying all week, even though I won't be working on Thursday. I will help on Friday. Maybe just greeting people as they ride in.
Let me know if you get anyone. If they have not volunteered for MS before, we need to get them registered. They can send a note to me with name/address/phone/email and I will take care of that.
Thanks
Margaret
They do need help probably at the finish line for Friday if anyone wants to help the last day.
