Ely Grand Prix of Soaring. Experience it!

Soaring Enthusiasts,

The Ely Grand Prix of Soaring is coming the first week in July. I am
providing a real-time glider tracking system that will allow observers on
the ground and around the world to watch the competition live on a SeeYou
screen. To pull this off, I am in desperate need of a few volunteers to
help out.

I have identified the jobs that I need to do. If you cannot meet the entire
commitment time please still contact me. Any committed time can help.

Please contact me by the following methods:

phone: 775 267 0808
