Runaround Volunteers Needed

Want all the fun of Berkeley Lab’s October 10th Runaround without the runaround? Volunteers are needed to work the finish line, which allows Berkeley Lab employees to participate if they choose not to cover the course on foot. Added benefits are listening to the music at the finish line and a free T-shirt. For more information, contact Runaround coordinator Stephen Derenzo at [email protected] or x4097.
