Hi Everyone!!
We are excited to be off and running on yet another year of Skate the Lake festivities! And we already have plans to make this year bigger and better than ever. Drive Smart Evergreen/Conifer took quite a hit after last year's cancellation but we are bound and determined to not let that happen again. It's obviously a little early in the year to be recruiting volunteers but we are looking for something even better: A chance to be on the Skate the Lake committee, as a Volunteer Coordinator, or Site Co-Coordinator. As a Volunteer Coordinator, you will have a chance to be part of committee meetings as well as recruit, organize and train volunteers. As Site Co-Coordinator your responsibilities will include the contact and coordination of food and entertainment vendors, site infrastructure needs (i.e. power, lighting, safety), and site set up and take down. You will also have a very pivotal role the day of the event. And best of all you will be making a huge difference for a tremendous organization, Drive Smart Evergreen/Conifer. We are looking for someone who has some extra time on your hands over the last few months of the year and plans to enjoy Skate the Lake on New Year's Eve. I, Regan Kalahar, will still be working as Volunteer Coordinator as well but due to some personal circumstances will have a little less available time this year and looking for a great addition to our team! If you are interested, just shoot me an email and we can get together to go over the details. Or please inquire, if you have any questions.
Remember: DRIVE SMART Evergreen/Conifer develops partnerships with schools, businesses, civic, community and governmental organizations to educate, create awareness and improve attitudes concerning safe and courteous driving in our mountain communities, resulting in the reduction of traffic related injuries and fatalities. Thank you all and we are looking forward to a great New Year's Eve this year!

Evergreen High School - Encouraging seat-belt usage and safer driving awareness is the goal on this committee, through trivia questionnaires, interactive games at school events, and seat belt checks as students arrive at school. Volunteers are needed to check students' cars as they enter EHS - cars with all passengers wearing seat belts receive prizes. This may become a weekly event if enough volunteers are recruited.
Infant Car Seats - Focused on Child Passenger Safety, including checking child safety seat (CSS) installations, replacing CSS when needed and educating parents on proper use and installation of CSS. Volunteers are needed for safety fairs, including the Evergreen Fire Safety Fair in September each year.
