National Valet Parking Assn. Sets First ‘ValetOlympics’


pany. The Games are tentatively scheduled for the Scottsdale Fashion SquareMall.


T The group’s executive director, PeneliTims, said the event is


the first of its kind. “While we have not completely determined the logistics of


the events, we know we will be having four of them. Parking, maneuvering, possibly a slalomand a key jumble have been con- sidered,”Tims said. “We are proposing teams of four and are put- ting an RFP together to give us a better idea of what is needed to formthe events.” Each member company will hold competitions with their


own valets within their respective companies in order to deter- mine the best team to represent it at the final games in Phoenix. Each member company is responsible for holding its own quar- terly events to achieve its best team. The elimination schedule is as follows: First quarter, 16


teams of four. Second quarter, eight teams of four. Third quarter, four teams of four. Fourth quarter, finals in Scottsdale, with each company sending one teamof four.One alternatewill be allowed. NVPAcommitteemembersworking on the project areCom-
