I feel so official (GACK!)

What a lot of great responses in, really, no time at all! I knew this would be the right place to ask!

Thanks for all the great ideas of groups to ask to (wo)man the booths. The guy in charge said he preferred non-profits, so I kind of had that stuck in my brain (and my Google search bar). I didn't think of all those other groups. Thanks! I know the bike clubs are being contacted (by someone else) asking to promo the ride on their sites, but I hadn't thought of a separate contact to ask for volunteers Thanks!

I have emailed a couple of HAM radio clubs, including the one at the University. It's not like they list phone numbers. Is email a good way to reach out, or should I try for more *personal* contact?

Maillotpois, last year was the first year for these tours, this is the first year in TX (so, Lise, no one to ask ). I have to admit I'm a bit skeptical about the food situation, too. In the meeting we had with Brad, the president of Organic Athlete, all they talked about was oranges and bananas, and possibly some of these locally produced *crackers*. I've had the crackers, and my jaw aches just thinking about trying to chew one . And this reformed-vegan engine cannot run on fruit alone (no goo packs, no bars, no turkey sandwiches ). I really don't want to carry enough food for 5-6 hours. Did you give feedback regarding this? Brad seems pretty receptive and really wants these things to succeed.
