  Imagine 500+ hp   subcompact race cars flying (literally through the "yumps") at   100mph along tree lined, gravel forest roads. Imagine participating in race   control on your ham radio rig! How can anyone refuse?
 
  It is getting close to the start of Minnesota Rally for 2017.
   
  Volunteers are still needed in all specialties for the 2017 Headwaters Rally   on May 20th.  We will be at the Northern Lights Casino in Walker MN   again this year, and the stages will be run in the Paul Bunyan Forest.
   
  This is a single day event.  we are planning to start the race around 10   AM and to get done around 6 PM to allow enough time for a banquet and time to   visit the casino.
   
  The rally will consist of 6 stages using 3 stage crews and consisting of 70 miles of racing. 
   
  Online   registration is now open!
   
  I will be having an early registration period from 6-9 on Friday, May 19th at   the Northern Lights Casino in Walker.  Registration on Saturday morning   will be from 6-8:30am at the same location.  We will be located in the   large white tent on the west side of the casino this year.
   
  I will follow up with all registered workers the week before the race to let   everyone know the schedule.
   
  Thanks in advance,

  When you volunteer for   the Twin Cities Tour de Cure you become a part of the American Diabetes   Association’s largest fundraising event. Joining you will be thousands of   participants from around the country who come together to directly impact the   lives of people facing the daily challenges of diabetes and their loved ones.
 
  When you register:

  
• You’re raising awareness in your        community about diabetes.
  
• You’re supporting life-saving research.
  
• You’re helping people who are        discriminated against because they have diabetes.

The Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES) consists of licensed   amateur radio operators (hams) who volunteer their time and equipment for   communications duty in the public service when disaster strikes. ARES MN   Metro serves the community and in particular emergency management community   in the nine county metro area. We train by providing health and safety   communications by reporting severe weather to the National Weather Service   through SKYWARN networks and at community events like the Twin Cities and   Minneapolis Marathon.
