Help out at the 5th Annual Applied Materials Silicon Valley Turkey Trot
This great fundraiser for Second Harvest Food Bank, Santa Clara Family Health Foundation, and Housing Trust of Santa Clara County is in need of volunteers. Course monitors are especially needed - a position you can ride your bike to! A couple hours' work will do you good before the evening's feast, plus it's for a great cause. Shifts are available between 7:00 am and 12:00 noon - volunteers must be at least 14 years old.

Call for volunteers
SVBC provides bike parking for all the Stanford home football games. Please volunteer to help!
The game schedule this year is
- September 20th, 6 pm game time
- October 11th, 2 pm
- November 1st, time not set yet
- November 15th, 4 pm
Game times can be checked at http://gostanford.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/sched/stan-m-footbl-sched.html.
Volunteers need to be at the Stadium one and a quarter hours prior to game time.
Although volunteers prefer the afternoon games, we have to staff the evening games too. Volunteers get a deli sandwich, cold drink and a Stadium pass to share. If you can persuade a family member, neighbor, co-worker, friend or fellow bicyclist to volunteer too, that would be great! And the more games you can volunteer for, the better. It’s quite a fun job.
Please contact me at stanfordparking [at] bikesiliconvalley [dot] org.
Thanks.
