VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Reminder: Our Rising Star families are expected to put in 10 hours per gymnast during the year, High School gymnasts are expected to put in 25 hours and 38 hours of volunteer time is required for Aerials/Optional gymnast’s families. If you have more than one gymnast in the groups which require volunteer hours, you are required to fulfill the number of volunteer hours per gymnast.

For example, if you have one High School gymnast and one Aerial gymnast, your family would be required to fulfill 63 volunteer hours.

We are still in need of a Music Librarian.  This person would be in charge of the floor music used by both the Optional and High School gymnasts.  The duties would include organizing and cataloguing our current musical selections and maintaining records of music that is selected by the gymnasts.  You would also communicate with the coaches if musical selections need to be ordered and then take in the money from the gymnasts for the BGC’s rental fees for use of the music.

Some of the work can be done at home; however, some will need to be completed at the gym such as coordinating with the gymnasts to supply them with the music.  (One of our board members has offered to assist in purchasing supplies to get this project underway.)

The High School gymnasts usually select their floor music in the fall and the Optional gymnasts in the summer months so those will most likely be the times where the Music Librarian would be dealing directly with the gymnasts.

If you are in need of volunteer hours and are interested in this volunteer position, please email Pam Gregg at: pam.gregg@state.mn.us or let Mary Allen know that you are interested.

Leotard sales is a year 'round opportunity to get some volunteer hours in and every BGC family should sell them at least once or twice a year. We sell them on Mondays and Thursdays from about 5:15-7:00 or whenever you can get to the gym close to those hours.  There is a sign-up sheet for leotard sales on the volunteer board  and we encourage you to get your name on it.  This is an especially easy way for our Rising Star parents to get some hours in. 

As the year goes on there are many other volunteer opportunities.  The board, marked VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES, by the Gym Bin stairs is where to look.  Please keep checking it our and please plan to do your part as a BGC volunteer.

We will be selling CANDY BARS again this year as fundraiser!

• Levels 2-3 and High School gymnasts are required to sell 25 candy bars
• Levels 4-10 are required to sell 50 candy bars, which is one case. 

The candy bars are easy to sell at $1.00 each and a $2.00 coupon on each candy bar for Pizza Hut. This fundraiser goes on all year long so I hope you will have a chance to sell a few extra.

Thanks for everyone’s help in selling and making this a great fundraiser for the BGC!
