Movie instructions

First for the Movie

Meet at the FOX Theater at 4:30 PM as we have to help with the Bike Valet.

We need 4 to meet at the club house to help take the Bike Valet Equipment to the FOX Theater.

Wear your El Grupo T-shirt or Jersey. The Bike Valet is around the corner from the Fox on Church Street between Congress and Pennington. There is one empty lot next to a parking garage.

Some will help park the bikes and some will be at the Fox Theater entrance showing cyclist where the Bike Valet is located.

We will be able to watch the movie, if any one has to stay at the bike Valet during the movie Damion will give you a DVD of the movie.

We may also have to pass out raffle tickets to all that attend.

We also need up to 3 Teens to be able to get up in front of the audience and speak about El Grupo. IF you would like to do this PLEASE let Richard, Lauren or Nippy know. We will help you prepare the short speech. IT should be 3 to 5 minutes and needs to be very well done.

Please post if you can be there or not!

Cheers!
