TOP TEN LIST OF THINGS LCC's NEED TO KNOW

1). PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR AU PAIRS REGISTER... There are STILL PLENTY OF SPACES LEFT!  Another email will go out later this week with a list of au pairs who have signed up. Please use the email sent to you by Rebecca to get responses from your individual au pairs in the meantime. PLEASE INVITE ALL COMPETITOR AU PAIRS TO THIS EVENT--IT IS GOING TO BE AMAZING!!!!

2). LCC's will not need to send their sign-in sheet for the Au Pair Amazing Race. Since Boston is covering the costs of the Race, there will be a master au pair sign-in sheet that Boston will provide. Au pairs will sign in between 12 pm and 12:50 and will  be required to sign the Au pair event liability waiver to participate.

3). Au pair teams will be assigned once au pairs have signed in between 12pm and 12:50 pm on May 22nd. The Race starts at 1pm . Any au pairs not signed in by 12:50 will not be able to participate!

4). LCC's who are not  coming to the event, but are sending their au pairs MUST make sure they arrive to the Art Museum by 12:30 to ensure they will be able to sign  in and get team placement in time for the start of the race at 1 pm. NOTE:  it will take 20 minutes to walk from either Suburban Station or 30th Street station to the the Art Museum.  Please make sure to allow for this when scheduling a train for your au pairs to take. If you are driving, please note that the start of the race and the end of the race are in completely different areas of the city. You will need to park for at least 4 hrs and the average cost is $30 in that area.  If your au pairs are walking from the train station without a LCC chaperone, PLEASE send them a map with directions on how to get to the Art Museum. IF you would like us to send you directions, please contact Amy or Rebecca.

5). If you have questions about the Amazing Race or need to contact Amy or Rebecca, please do so by PD assignment. So if your PD is Veronica, please contact Rebecca Cronin at 267 275 7237 or   rebecca.cronin@lcc.culturalcare.com.  If your PD is Judith, please contact Amy Bryan at 302 898 7392 or at amy.bryan@lcc.culturalcare.com

6).If you are coming to the race with your au pairs, you will need to be at the Art Museum by 12 pm to help with team assignments and sign in. If you cannot make it to the Art Museum by 12 pm,  PLEASE CONTACT Rebecca or Amy to organise where and when you can help.

7). Registration will consist of 3 stations.  LCC's will be given their station assignments on Friday, May 21st   along with a detailed description of what is needed for you to do. If you are NOT coming to the Friday meeting with everyone,  PLEASE let Amy or Rebecca know so we can assign you your station details via email.

Station 1:   Au Pair Sign In  

Au pairs will sign in by last name, according to the registration list from Boston.  They will also sign the Au Pair Event Liability Waiver at this time.

Station 2:  Charity Check 

Au pairs who have collected Kids First sponsorship money will turn in their donations and be given a Charity Fast Forward card to use during Checkpoint Four.

Station 3:  Team Assignments 

Au pairs will be assigned teams (groups of 6 only) and will be given their team bag with the items needed for the race.  Teams will then be asked to pick an au pair from their team  to participate in the first Checkpoint.  That Au pair will stay at Station 3 and wait to be escorted to the starting line. All other team members will return to Station 1 where they will wait in groups  for the first Checkpoint to be completed.

8). LCC Checkpoint Assignments 

LCC's will also be given Checkpoint assignments in addition to helping with the sign-in stations.  Details for these will also be given with the station assignments, along with a TEAM LEADER.  Team Leaders have been chosen based on availability and knowledge of the city layout and Amazing Race details.  TEAM LEADERS WILL NEED A CELL PHONE WITH THEM ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT .

9). LCC's will NOT get to see the whole race.  However, you will get to see at least 3 check point stations during the course of the race and we will be videoing each check point to make  a video for later viewing.

10). LCC's SHOULD UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHARE RACE CLUES OR INFORMATION WITH THEIR AU PAIRS. WE HAVE GONE TO GREAT LENGTHS TO MAKES SURE THIS EVENT IS FAIR AND THAT  EVERYONE HAS THE SAME OPPORTUNITY TO WIN.

11). We need an additional  MEGAPHONE--DO YOU HAVE ONE??? CAN WE BORROW IT ??? Please respond ASAP
