A CANADA DAY TRADITION CONTINUES...

You've played there. You've layed out there. You've lost 
there. Now is the time to camp there.

The forth annual pre-Canada Day camp-out will take place at 
UPI this Sunday, June 30th. The Ultimate community is 
invited to start the Canada Day debauchery one day early by 
heading to the UPI fields for a camp out and fireworks 
extravaganza. We have had more than 100 joining in on the 
festivities. We hope to top that number this year (better 
fireworks show!).

The party starts anytime after you get there on Sunday. Make 
sure to buy your fireworks at Bakker's store (at the corner 
on the way to UPI) and be prepared to take out what you 
bring in (i.e. no garbage/bottles left behind).

Camp sites are wherever you pitch your tent, showing 
ultimate respect for the fields.

One other thing, the club house hill has been reseeded and 
we are not to go on this area, it will be roped off.

See you there !!!

ULTIMATE PARTY

For teams that are not yet aware, another Ultimate Party is 
being scheduled at Barrymores for Saturday, July 13th. Disco 
Inferno will be playing and tickets for ultimate players are

any old disco wear that you have and get down and boogie to 
the disco beat...Tickets are available through ticketmaster 
for a regular price of $6 or at the door for $8 (for non-
ultimate players). If you plan to buy tickets at the door, 
get there early to ensure you get it.

HOPE BEACH VOLLEYBALL VOLUNTEERS

As one of this year's HOPE Beach Volleyball recipient 
charities, The Food Bank needs to recruit 50 volunteers to 
help with site maintenance "on the day".

The event is on Saturday, July 13th at Mooney's Bay. There 
are two shifts available. The first is 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 
p.m. and the second is from 4:00 p.m. till 9:00 p.m. 
Volunteers can park at Carleton University where shuttle 
buses will take you to and from the beach.

Working in pairs, volunteers will be asked to clean up and 
maintain the beach, bar and VIP areas by picking up cans for 
recycling, monitoring the condition of garbage cans and 
performing other site maintenance duties as assigned. You 
will have an opportunity to walk around, enjoy the games and 
see the entire beach.

To secure a spot on the "Hunger Fighters Clean-Up Squad", 
please contact Colin Chalk by e-mail at 
colin@theottawafoodbank.ca or call The Food Bank at 745-
7001. We are looking for 50 volunteers, so please feel free 
to pass along this invitation to friends and colleagues.

Many thanks! We hope to hear from you soon.

ABANDON SHIP!

Participate in world leading ship safety research in Ottawa.

Volunteers ages 18 to 50, in good physical condition, are 
required to assist in a ship evacuation study. Shipboard 
experience is an asset, but not required. Take up the 
challenge of climbing ladders, opening watertight hatches 
and doors in a tilted corridor, and contribute your valuable 
data to this research. This angled corridor simulates a 
vessel in distress - heeled over due to an accident or fire -
 how well would you fare evacuating in an emergency?

All that is required is a few hours of your time 
transportation and refreshments will be provided, along with 
rewards for your participation. Testing is being conducted 
now - so contact us today to participate!
