Description:

"Do or Do Not.  There Is No Try."  

-Yoda, renowned Jedi Master

 

Oh, Yoda, you crazy Jedi master. Of course, there is try - a triathlon!

 

Our good friends at McGaw YMCA in Evanston will be sponsoring its 4th Annual Youth Triathlon, and One Brick has been asked to help with the Expo on July 7.  We will be passing out race goodie bags and t-shirts, working the registration table, marking numbers on participants, giving out timing chips, and anything to help the staff prep for the triathlon the following day.

 

We will be working indoors (yep, in a/c!) in the Sebring/Lewis Center gym at the McGaw YMCA.
Other Info: All volunteers must be at least 21 years old. Street parking & metered parking is available, as well as guest passes for parking lot. Suggest taking public transportation as the best option. The YMCA is just 2 blocks from both the Metra & CTA Purple line – Davis St. stop.
Organization: McGaw YMCA

The McGaw YMCA serves a diverse community by supporting its members in achieving health and wellness and by encouraging a balanced lifestyle for the whole family. For more information, visit www.mcgawymca.org.
Driving: From Chicago, take Lake Shore Drive north until it turns into Hollywood. Drive straight/west on Hollywood and turn right/north on Ridge. Take Ridge into Evanston (crossing over Howard) to Lake Street. Turn right/east on Lake. Drive one block and turn left/north on Oak. Drive one more block and turn right/east on Grove. The Y is located immediately on the right, a historic 5-story 1930s-style building.
Transit: The Y is located in central Evanston, easily accessible by the "L" (purple line)and Metra (Union Pacific North Line to Kenosha). To use the “L” from Chicago, take the Red Line to Howard, transfer to the purple line, and take the purple line to Davis. Or, take Metra's Union Pacific North Line to the Davis Transportation Center. The Y is just 2 blocks SW of the Davis Transportation Center and it is an easy 3 minute walk. For more info, visit http://tripsweb.rtachicago.com/.
