October 16th, 2007 - Issue 3 Who’s that Marshal working next to you? Don’t know, then maybe you should invite someone you do know. What a great experience we have working the WGC-CA Championship. We have hundreds of volunteers every year and many come back each year because they enjoy it. How simple is it to share with someone something you enjoy doing. Who do you know that likes having fun? Who do you not know that likes having fun? We all know its special being able to work inside the ropes; it’s so much more than being a spectator. You get the prestige of being part of a world class event and you’re contributing to the success of OUR local charities. This year we want to focus on 3 concerns: 1. The importance of our responsibilities in running a smooth WGC-CA Championship. Making sure that the Sponsors & Spectators’ experiences are fulfilled. 2. The expectations of the WGC, in running a 1st Class Event. 3. Most important—“Let’s have some fun”. Enjoy the friendship and camaraderie from your fellow volunteers. This is the second year for the WGC-CA Championship in South Florida and each year is better and better so why don’t you bring a New Marshall to Town.
