    Volunteering at the NEQ

    Thanks again to everyone who volunteered their time and effort to make the NEQ a huge success.  You guys all showed tremendous work ethic and really were the glue that held the entire event together.   We got lots of compliments on how encouraging and strict the judges all were with their athletes and how smoothly everything went.  If it weren’t for you guys busting your butts to move equipment, count reps and frying in the sun all day we’d be getting a lots of hate mail instead.
