When is the earliest I can arrive at the rally and set up camp? Rally set-up volunteers will begin arriv-
ing on Monday, July 11. Anyone arriving prior to the official opening of the Rally on Thursday, July 14, will be expected to volun- teer for set-up duties or a shift during the rally. Regular rally services such as food vendors, restrooms, showers, etc. may be limited until noon on Wednesday, July 13.
How can I volunteer? The Volunteer Chair is Paul Ruffell and a
full list of committee chairs will be listed on the MOA web page and in BMW Owners News. Additionally, when you arrive at the Rally, the Volunteer Booth will be located in the Grange Building with the MOA func- tions (Door Prizes, MOA Gear Store, etc.) and volunteer registration and scheduling will be available there as well. If you arrive before the official opening on Thursday at 8 a.m., you will be expected to volunteer for the event. Upon arriving prior to Thursday, stop anyone in a golf cart, and they can assist you or direct you to the volunteer sign-up area. The Rally can’t go on without the many volunteers!
