UGBC is also looking for two leaders of the group to help organize & motivate the group of 50. It would require serving as a liaison between UGBC and the Red Sox. There will be an opportunity to volunteer at games in the summer for those who already participated in the Spring. Email ChrisAlej08@gmail.com with your name, address, email, and year of graduation if you are interested in volunteering (you must be here NOW and in the FALL). If you are interested in being selected as a leader, include a brief paragraph as to why you should be selected by Friday, March 28th. Contact Chris Denice (christopher.denice.1@bc.edu) with any questions.
