Help Need for Public Service Events in June!

Kane County ARES will be taking the lead on TWO Public Service Events this June.

The first is a new event for Kane County, the American Diabetes Assn. "Tour de Cure", a fund-rasing bicycle event for Diabetes research. This will take place on Saturday, June 7th. The second event is the Fox Valley Bike & Ski Club's "Swedish Days" Invitational ride. This event will be held on Sunday, June 15th.

For both events, will need 14-15 operators minimum for Net Control, Rest Stops, SAG vehicles/operators, and more. If you have never worked a Public Service event like these, come out anyway- we'll pair you up with someone who has so you can learn!

We will bew posting more information about the events shortly. If you are interested, please drop an email to Eric Lorenz, Kane County EC.
