Stir the mussels, help fill the (financial) pot.

The Coupeville Booster Club is looking for a few good volunteers to help out with one of its biggest fundraisers.

That would be the annual Mussel Fest, which is set for Mar. 2-3 this go round.

The booster club serves up warm food to festival goers, with the resulting money helping them fulfill their goal of being the wind beneath the wings of Coupeville athletes.

While you get bonus points if you have a food handlers’ card, no prior experience is needed, as the club will teach you to duel with the briny buggers on the fly.

“We just need new blood,” said booster club mover and shaker Leann Leavitt with a laugh.

“I’m not sure how many more years I can convince (my husband) Nate to cook these for an entire weekend.”

They need your help.

As they ramp up for Race the Reserve, the biggest fundraiser for the graduates at Coupeville High School, parents of the Class of 2024 are seeking volunteers for the event.

The call is out for both high school students and adults, and there are a variety of positions waiting to be filled.

Race the Reserve, which features a 5K, 10K, and half marathon, is set for Saturday, Aug. 12.

Money raised goes to fund safe and sober graduation events.

They are the unsung heroes.

If you want to pull off a successful track and field meet, you need a ton of volunteers willing to go the extra mile.

Wednesday afternoon the action was hopping as Coupeville Middle School hosted South Whidbey in the home finale, and those volunteers were the glue holding things together.

Capturing them on film was wanderin’ photo clicker John Fisken, who provides us with the pics seen above and below.

Anna Myles is a strict, but fair judge.

Sarah and Scott Stuurmans make sure their bench stays in place.

Ayden Wyman preps the long jump pit.

She who controls the measuring tape, controls the world.

It’s not an official mark until they say it is.

The day’s best high jumper gets major air.

“Minus two points for eagle-related shenanigans…”

Volunteers make the world run.

Especially those who opt to help out for home track and field meets, where every person counts.

Coupeville hosts four meets this spring, including the high school district championships, and is in need of volunteers to keep things running smoothly.

No prior track and field experience is required, just a willingness to help.

“Our coaches will put you in positions where you feel comfortable and can explain how everything works,” said Coupeville High School/Middle School Athletic Director Willie Smith.

“Plus, our coaches absolutely guarantee great weather for all of the meets,” he added with a mischievous smile. “So that should not even be a concern of yours when considering.”

Volunteers need to be at meets, which are held at the stadium behind Coupeville Elementary, at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the event.

 

Coupeville’s home meets:

Wednesday, Mar. 22 — high school league meet — 4-6 teams — 3:30 PM
Wednesday, Apr. 26 — middle school league meet — 4 teams — 3:30 PM
Wednesday, May 10 — middle school league meet — 2 teams — 3:30 PM
Saturday, May 13 — high school district meet — multiple teams — 11:00 AM

 

To volunteer, contact a coach:

Bob Martin — bmartin@coupeville.k12.wa.us
Elizabeth Bitting — ebitting@coupeville.k12.wa.us
Doug McVey — dmcvey@coupeville.k12.wa.us

Coupeville Middle School basketball stars applaud the idea you might volunteer to help run the Hoopaholics camp next summer. (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

It’s the basketball circle of life.

Help out with behind the scenes work at next summer’s Hoopaholics camp, and it will come back to benefit Coupeville basketball programs.

The camp, which brings numerous adult players to Whidbey Island, including U-Dub and NBA legend Steve Hawes, is in its 34th year of existence.

Participants stay at Camp Casey, with games held at the Coupeville High School gym during Father’s Day weekend June 16-18, 2023.

Volunteers are needed to help run the score board, do food prep, and set up.

Donations of cookies, snack mixes, and other homemade or store-bought goodies is also a priority.

Hoopaholics has a strong relationship with CHS basketball, and always makes a financial donation back to aid the Wolf hoops programs.

To volunteer, contact Amy Briscoe at (360) 632-2229.
