CANADIAN ULTIMATE CHAMPIONSHIP VOLUNTEERS

Want to get in on the action at the event of the Canadian 
Ultimate season? 

Volunteer at the 2003 CUC in Montreal and you'll be rewarded 
with tons of free stuff, plus front-row access to fierce 
competition, outstanding athleticism and spirited play 
between elite-level teams vying for title of "Canadian 
Champion." 

Athletes from across the country will descend upon Montreal 
and St-Jean-sur-Richelieu between August 13-17th, 2003. The 
tournament organizing committee wants to show the rest of 
Canada that Montreal is where it's at not only in the world 
of Ultimate, but also as the hot-bed of "cool" in North 
America. 

Please consider joining our list of ultimate players giving 
back to the community by volunteering their time and energy 
to produce the best tournament in the history of Canadian 
Ultimate. 

As a volunteer, you'll have free access to all CUC-sponsored 
events, including the Saturday night party on Mount Royal, 
which promises to be a smashing success. Volunteers also 
receive a "volunteer pack," a shirt, a 
tournament disc, and free beer. 

After the tournament, CUC will hold an exclusive dinner and 
party in recognition of all the hard work our volunteers put 
into CUC 2003. There'll also be an exclusive raffle in which 
one volunteer will win an MS Xbox console. 

If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact 
François Moisan at cuc_volunteers@canadianultimate.com. 

We appreciate any support you may be able to give.
