Happy Thanksgiving
by Marvin Johnston 22 Nov '01

22 Nov '01

I received the following email from the SCONet (Southern California Orienteering Net) listserver today that expresses very well the attitudes that have helped the Bay Area Orienteering Club (BAOC) grow to the extent that they have. When Sergei and I were up there for an Orienteering meet a little over a month ago, the friendliness and encouragement of everyone involved was wonderful; the enthusiasm people have for the both the sport and the BAOC was clearly evident. These are the types of attitudes that help to build any volunteer organization. With the change of SBARC board, it is my feverent hope that SBARC will again work towards being one of the best clubs in the nation with people who WANT to both belong to and get involved with our club! A very happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!! ********** A year ago, I had not even heard of orienteering. Now it's what I do on Sundays. Thank you, Jill Seaman, for introducing Debra and me to the sport. Thank you, Peter Graube, for letting us be involved in the preparations for Big Basin, so we got an idea of just how much advance work went into an event. And therefore, a big thankyou to all the meet directors and course setters for all your efforts. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped with registration, starts, finishes, results, and pickup. Especially to EvnJean, who did registration at almost every meet I attended, from Emerald Hills to Calero. Thanks also to the paperwork people (such as everybody listed on page 2 of the Bulletin), who got it done behind the scenes so the events could happen. Thank you, Jeff, for the newsletter, and Abby, for the website. A special thankyou to the experienced orienteers who take time to talk to beginners, offering encouragement and advice. And finally, to all organizers, volunteers, and participants, Happy Thanksgiving! -- alan

Vasquez Rocks Orienteering Event
by Marvin Johnston 20 Nov '01

20 Nov '01

Hi all, The Los Angeles Orienteering Club (LAOC) will be putting on an A meet orienteering event on December 8-9. They would like to have two radio operators for communications between the registration area and the remote start for Saturday. I would like to have 4 radio operators so that those helping out will also be able to run the course. If anyone is interested in helping out, please get in contact with me. As most of us have learned, orienteering skills are *essential* to being able to compete in ARDF. It is not too soon to be practicing for the US ARDF Championships that will be held in Georgia on April 17 - 19, 2002. More information about this meet can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Trails/6320/la_vasquez.html More information about other West Coast Orienteering events can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/o_sconet/sched_all.html More information about the 2002 US ARDF Championships in Georgia can be found at: http://www.mindspring.com/~sam.smith/gaoc/Radio-O/Radio.htm
