Team Shell is completely run by volunteers. The organizing committee was
very lean last year, which places a lot of effort on each person,
especially the team captain. Although we all enjoyed a successful
team effort in 2007, it didn’t just fall into place on its own.
Accolades also go out to the 2007 planning team that were
integral in Team Shell’s success. All of us have full-time jobs at Shell,
and committed our time and dedication to Team Shell in our “free time” and
many late nights.
If you volunteered to help with the team when you registered on the Team Shell zoomerang site, you’ll soon be receiving an email from either me or another planning committee member. We appreciate your enthusiasm and support, and look forward to working with you to make 2008 a fantastic success for Team Shell. 2008 Team Co-Captains

Ride Marshals So far 9 members of Team Shell have signed up to be Ride Marshals for this year's MS 150:
This is outstanding and exceeds the MS minimum requirement for teams to provide one ride marshal per 50 cyclists (at 350 riders, Team Shell had to have at least 7 ride marshals). Eric Thiede will once again be the Head Team Shell Race Marshal. The official Ride Marshal kick off meeting will be held Monday, February 4 at the Stewart Title Bldg (2200 Post Oak Blvd) at 6:30pm (optional snack/dinner at 6:00pm). The deadline to sign up for the Ride Marshal program is January 31, 2008. In order to be an official RM with the special jersey: You must be over 18 years old, have completed two previous BP MS150 rides, have proof of current CPR/First Aid Training and completed a hands-on (3 hr minimum) cycling safety class.

Team Shell Volunteers for MS150 Weekend, April 12-13As with any large event, we will need volunteers to help us with this year’s MS150 event – at Woodcreek the morning of the ride, at LaGrange for the first day of the ride/second morning and at the Shell tent in Austin on Sunday. This includes volunteer roles such as loading the truck with our gear, greeting cyclists at the sign-in tables, assisting with set-up/tear-down of chairs/tables at the overnight tent, etc. In years past, volunteers have really pampered our riders by assisting at Woodcreek during your send off, helping organize the tent in LaGrange, handing out cool moist towels after completing your first day's ride, and steer you in the direction of that well deserved massage. If you are interested in helping, or have a friend, colleague, spouse, or neighbor (or you miss the MS150 deadline) – please consider this opportunity. Sign up HERE: http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB226W2AKYY37 Mark Poindexter is coordinating volunteers for MS150 Weekend. Volunteers are the backbone of this entire event and Team Shell thanks you for your consideration to help. |
