Micro Games push gains momentum

While there are still months to go before islanders from throughout the region come to the CNMI for the 6th Micronesian Games, organizers have continued their weekly meeting schedule in the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium conference room, and progress has thus far been continuous.
Micro Games Organizing Committee chairman Michael White and the rest of the board members spent another two and a half hours at the long table discussing sponsorships, transportation, individual events, venues, lodging, protocol issues, among other things, and the committee is in agreement that there is still plenty to do before the first athletes set foot on Saipan.
One of the major issues remains the sponsorship and the different levels that a company or individual will be able to support the Games. While the details have not yet been released, it appears that the news will come soon as the final arrangements are near completion.
The push for volunteers is still ongoing, but a number of people from all walks of life have expressed their interest and signed up to donate their time and sweat for the good of the Games.
Official forms for sponsorship and volunteering will become available in the near future, but all interested volunteers can start the process by emailing Frances Sablan with some basic information to get the ball rolling at efsablan@yahoo.com or by calling 234-3462.
The chairwoman said that she will need to know the name, age, contact information, preferred areas, and availability of each of the volunteers so that she can best assign them to specific duties.
