The MS Society needs several things in the next week or so from us…

Team Polo Shirts – As a Grand Tier team we’re entitled to team polos. We wear these as a team during the Saturday night awards / entertainment night. In order to save the MS Society some money, I only order these for new riders, veteran riders will need to wear the shirts they received in past years. We currently have 22 new members and I expect to add another 10 to that so I’ll order 32 total shirts. We’ve run out of sizes in past years so if you’re a new member or expect to sign up soon, please tell me what size you’d like reserved for you. Otherwise, you’ll get whatever’s left.

Grand Tier Food – Another perk of being a grand tier team is that we get to participate in a barbecue on Saturday after the ride in “Team Town”, a late night pizza party back at the dorm Saturday night and a private breakfast on Sunday. The MS Society needs a head count for each so please follow the attached link this week and let them know whether you plan to attend. http://email.wisms.org/site/R?i=Xn5-8oVKX77awpbhl4_qZQ..

Room Mates – Another perk of being a grand tier team (broken record) is that we get pre assigned rooming together on the same floor. So instead of signing up online for a roommate I need to provide a list of roommates to the society. So please save me from hounding you and let me know asap who you’d like to room with.

Training rides – NO ride this Saturday the 8^th, it’s my daughters wedding so we’ll be very much occupied. Next ride is the 15^th.

Team Numbers – We have 55 registered riders now with 22 of them new. My goal again, is 32 new and a total of 75. Obviously that means I still need 10 more veterans to sign up in addition to recruiting 10 more rookie riders so please check your calendars, check your friends calendars, etc. Remember, we do have the team recruiting incentive of a night’s stay at the Heidel House in Green Lake for recruiting. The more you recruit, the better your chances.

Jerseys – Still have alittle over half the jerseys I ordered available. Let me know if you’d like one reserved for you and I’ll set one aside. Cost is $60, check should be made out to the NMSS and mailed to the address below.
