Making Summer Plans?

To most of us, the mention of summer plans makes us start daydreaming of sandy beaches without a cell phone and zero athletes or even the simplest leisure of hibernating in our own homes without a cell phone and zero athletes. But whatever your ideal summer might consist of, we all need to carve out a time for the NATA convention here in our home region.

You may have been contacted by the NATA to serve as a volunteer in the hosting and preparation of the convention in San Antonio. We encourage you to sign up for this opportunity. By giving as little as 10 hours, you can receive a discount on your registration fees. Feeling a little strapped in today's economy? You can volunteer 40 hours and get the entire registration fee reimbursed.

After the volunteer list is complete, there will be a follow-up email that will allow you to sign up for particular times and days that work well for you. When this sign up sheet is made available we, as the YPC, will designate a time for us to get together to volunteer as a group. It will be a great chance to work together and socialize. As athletic trainers, we are champions of multitasking! And I'm sure for all of our hard work, we can reward ourselves with additional socializing on the River Walk. :)

So be on the lookout for both of these. If you need help, don't hesitate to contact anyone of us to get you connected with those who can help you get involved.

I'm volunteering! I can't wait to meet more people from our district. I hope others have joined me. Can't wait to see everyone in San Antonio!
