I was at the mentor roundtable and knowing what you and Jessica were doing with the flyers, I was surprised not to see you there. I can give a first hand account of the meeting but it would have been much more productive if you guys had attended. I agree that an education, for everyone, and every team is needed. I have no problem with the flyer or the fact that you distributed it. But I spent an hour and half talking with Mark Lawrence (half hour one on one, about this topic and these threads specifically). There are some SERIOUS challenges ahead for MN if/when we transition to a district model. No one that I spoke to was against it, but the amount of volunteers is still the sticking point. 5-6 times the number of volunteers are required for a district model. Not to mention key volunteers that we currently "have no bench" of. Think if yoshi was one of the volunteers that got sick this weekend (apparently 4 had to cancel because they got the flu). We would have been scrambling to find someone who can emcee! Not an easy roll to fill in.
So, contact the volunteer coordinator, have your mentors contact her and sign up to shadow someone at MSHSL State. Volunteer for next year's regionals, even if you get a task like cuing or field reset, work your way up through the ranks to be a key volunteer. That's what I'm going to do.
