Warm, Dry Start to Fall Season
Busse Woods North, September 7, 2003

The first regular event of the autumn orienteering season was more like a summer event, with clear skies and warm breeze. It was a busy day, with more than 300 entries.

Like all CAOC events, this event wouldn't have been possible without the help of many volunteers. Working at registration were Tom Knapp, Beth Gray, Krista Pospisil, and Dave Macaulay. Jim Marshall, Kyle Ryberg, and Tom Lok provided instruction to beginners. Kathy Bullard and Evgen Myronov spent the day at the Start/Finish timing table. Edward Prshelilski, Dave Macaulay, and Evgen Myronov hung the control markers. Dave Brewer, Brad Lagowski, and Dave Macaulay picked up controls at the end of the day. Clark Maxfield distributed club T-shirts. Michael Collins and Christina Taylor entered all names and times onto the club web page. Jim Gordon packed up the meet equipment. Evgen Myronov designed the courses and Dave Macaulay coordinated all volunteers. Kevin Teschendorf, Joe Sehnal, and Rich Gaylord made the map. In addition club vice president Charlie Shahbazian organized the entire 2003 schedule, president Carl Larsson reviewed the courses, equipment director Viktor Nikolenko obtained the control markers and other equipment, and club treasurer Bliss Packer provided financial accounting for the event. Editor Clark Maxfield will summarize the event in the club newsletter Chicag-O.

Thank these twenty-two individuals by volunteering for a future event. With more volunteer help we can hold more events in 2004. Contact the secretary to volunteer.
