Tillamook is rapidly approaching and will be held July 31-August 2!  We have
been busy planning this event for quite a while, and it is now time to nail down
the final details, including getting all of you signed up as volunteers to help
out (lots of ways to do this) and getting you all registered to participate in
the event.

Track race on Monday night.  The NWTA board had changed the organization's
mailing address, and I forgot to update the registration form with this
information.  I will be posting an updated registration form on the NWTA website
(soon!) so that folks can download and print it off.

volunteer positions available, but feel free to double/triple up to help make
this event successful and fun :)  Please email me (offlist) with your desired
volunteer activity.  Most of these are short duration activities on a single day
of the event, so you will still have lots of time to participate in the event. 
Other volunteer opportunities occur outside of the event dates, so you can do
one of those and participate fully in the event.
