WORKERS: Canine Kinship consists of a few core friends that put on good down to earth trials. We are not a big club with many members. So please volunteer to work and fill out the enclosed worker form. We truly appreciate all the help we get at trials as we could not put on trials without the help of volunteers. We do have heavy equipment and just the addition of one or two additional volunteers at course change time makes all the difference in the world! We provide water and snacks for workers. If you have questions regarding ‘Trial Jobs’ a detailed description of each job is located at the following web site: http://inthezoneagility.homestead.com/jobs.html. There also is a blank worker form there. PLEASE FILL OUT THE WORKERS FORM. I would like to create a workers schedule before the trial. THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!
