ONLY 92 DAYS LEFT UNTIL STARDAYS July 17-20, 2012
All the planning is going well for a great STARDAYS 2012 IN RENO, NV. There will be lots of new things to do this year and there is a lot of great riding area. We are all very excited about this year’s event and hope that many of you will be attending.
We are going to need a lot of “workerbees” this year so that we can have short shifts so that all will be able to have a great time. Right now all the work is going on in the background by STAR staff, the ISC, and volunteer coordinators. Our wonderful Family of Star Members have always stepped up and volunteered to work the various areas and we are in the process of setting up the work schedule now.
