Here's where we still need help:

Awards Assistant	Awards Assistants report to the Event Assistant and are responsible for the unpacking, cleaning, marking, organizing and distribution of the various awards, trophies and medallions awarded at the Event Ceremonies.

The Awards Assistants will need to set up the medallion stands and assist with the medallion distribution to the team members receiving medallions.
