A Message from Vice President , Nance Schroeck
If you have been waiting to increase your involvement with your AMTA Chapter, now is the time. Come to our April meeting to learn about the positions we need YOU to help us with. We will be discussing our very first Massage and Bodywork Conference.
Board members will be announcing course offerings, information on vending, and volunteer opportunities for professional and student members. We need help with Public Relations and need someone who can contact local publications/newspapers, with conference information.
May 18th is the annual Christiana Care Run at the Riverfront in Wilmington. The Sports Massage Team will be volunteering for our second year. The volunteer opportunities are as follows:
- Massage Therapists will be needed to offer massage to runners. We need a couple of early birds to offer pre-event massage to runners. We will need therapists on hand for post event massage as runners finish. Sports Massage experience is required for table therapists.
- We need technicians/therapists to offer chair massages. You just need experience in Chair Massage. Spectators will be offered 10 minute chair massages for a $5 donation .
- We need students to assist therapists with various duties.
Volunteers may bring business cards/flyers to be displayed on our table.
Participating therapists/technicians will have a free listing in our handout.
From last years donations we were able to purchase rubber mats to stand on.
We will be sheltered under a large tent. Food and T-Shirts will be provided. Tips will be divided amongst massage volunteers according to time worked.
This is a well organized event and those who participated last year had a great time.
Our goal is to increase our number of tables available for massage.
The first race starts at 7AM, so we need Therapists at 6AM for pre event massage.
We work rotating shifts. We need 2-6 Therapists from 6- 6:45AM. We need 4-6 from 7AM-9AM, and 4-6 from 9AM- 12 Noon. We need 4 Chair Massage Therapists/Technicians for a 7-9 AM shift and a 9- Noon Shift.
Students are needed to assist runners with water and sign-up, and to assist therapists as needed. I can be contacted directly at 302-233-4630 or email me at spreadjoy@isp.com.
Our Sports Massage Team is new, but we will be increasing the opportunities we can participate in, if we have the support from volunteers like you.
