Introduction

The Paralympic Torch Relay will be coming to UBC, and the VOC will be hosting a booth in the Paralympic Torch Relay Celebration event along with other UBC campus groups. (http://www.webcommunications.ubc.ca/ubc2010/whats-on/paralympic-torch-relay/)

We are looking for volunteers to help out with the VOC booth, which will involve interactive games. The popular ones from the last Olympic Torch Relay event were "balance tug of war", slacklining, and "who can draw the best maple leaf". It's okay even if you don't know the games (I didn't), come out and have fun! More ideas welcome. In addition, helping out during the event will count as a workhike.

This is not a member-recruiting focused event (like Clubs Days), but it would help to know some of this information: http://www.ubc-voc.com/wiki/Faq
