CIFA to hold meet and greet for volunteers

(CNS): Come Tuesday, July 9, CIFA’s Local Organizing Committee (LOC) for the CONCACAF Under 15 Boys’ Development Tournament will be opening its hospitality doors to its volunteers. “Wefeel that it is important that our CIFA Ambassadors have an opportunity to meet with members of our LOC, become familiar with our short and long –term goals, and gain an understanding of what will be expected of them.” said LOC’s Chairman Bruce Blake.

The tournament, scheduled for August 13 – 25, promises to bring some 600 players, officials and their families to Grand Cayman. It presents an opportunity for members of the Cayman community to share in hosting them in a variety of ways such as liaison officers, sales clerks, administrative assistants, hosts and hostesses, translators and medical personnel, among other roles. Venues for the tournament are the Ed Bush Football Field in West Bay, George Town Annex and Truman Bodden Sports Complex which takes organizing the event to another level.

Said Charmaine Moss, Chairperson for Volunteers, “The two-hour event is designed to give all those attending an opportunity to interact with Chairpersons of our various committees and sign-up for their area of interest, in addition to sharing their ideas for providing first class Cayman hospitality to our visitors. It’s a great occasion for students on holidays, Cayman friends and families who are returning home for the summer and community service individuals and groups to contribute towards strengthening our tourism product. ”

Persons interested in and /or requiring more information on becoming a CIFA Ambassador should attend the Meet and Greet Information Session at the South Community Centre on Tuesday, July 9 at 5:30pm. Those unable to attend may email the LOC at volunteers.cifa@gmail.com
