Join us Wednesday morning at 7:30am in the Great Hall - Kitchi Gammi Club (831 E Superior St., Duluth, MN 55802) for our morning program hosted by Max Holm.
Harbortown Rotary is calling all do-gooders for our last year volunteering at the Bike Duluth Festival (now the Duluth Trails Fest). We are in need of volunteers on Friday, August 7th, and we will be focused on filling the Registration tent.
Registration volunteers will - register all racers, collect payments, ensure mandatory waivers are signed by all participants, distribute bib/race number items, and pass out maps and festival schedules.
Volunteers are needed for two shifts (or the time frame you can accommodate):
9:30am - 3:00pm
3:00pm - 7:00pm
Please let Chloe Strand (ChloeStrand90@gmail.com | 218.340.2531) know if you are interested in participating, or sign up for a shift at our Wednesday morning meeting!
