Beefing up on volunteers

Rotary Club on hunt for help

The Rotary Club needs some extra hands to help serve thousands of Squamish's famous sandwiches.

Created by forestry pioneer John Drenka 56 years ago, Squamish Rotary's Beef-On-A-Bun is as much a part of Squamish Days Logger's Sports as lumberjacks and chainsaws.

At last year's two-day event, 32 volunteers aided in slow roasting 1,500 pounds of Alberta meat at the Rotary Shack at the Al McIntosh Fields equalling approximately 3,000 beef buns.

The meat is placed on giant rotisseries at 7 a.m., with volunteers cooking two batches of roughly 32 beef roasts each day. Money raised from the event is donated to the community's many charities.

The Rotary Club is looking for volunteers to help out on the August long weekend. People are required for Saturday, Aug. 3, and Sunday, Aug. 4, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
