Remember the TV show a while back “Dirtiest Jobs with Mike Rowe?” Mike would go out to job sites and do some of the dirtiest jobs employees in all lines of work had to perform.
There’s another “dirty job” coming to Mesquite that many may WANT to be involved in — Mesquite Rotary’s 4th Annual Mudd Volleyball Tournament. On Saturday, April 29 teams can join up to show their competitive spirit, get a little dirty, and have some great fun at the Eureka Resort in Mesquite!
“Last year’s event was held in mid-March and the weather didn’t cooperate for us,” said Mesquite Rotarian and event organizer Linda Gault. “It was cool and very windy. Even though everyone had a great time regardless of the weather conditions, we decided to hold this year’s event later, when it should be much warmer and hopefully with less wind to contend with.”
Six-member teams are already forming and the Mesquite PD is on board to play in the competition for the Traveling Trophy again this year.
Registration and rules are available on Mesquite Rotary’s website at http://mesquitenvrotary.org. A PayPal option is available for payments online. Or a request for a team registration form may be made by emailing Rotary at mesquiterotarynv@gmail.com. Completed forms and payment can be mailed to the address provided.
“This has been a fun event that is becoming more popular each year,” said Mesquite Rotary President, Keith Buchhalter. “Because of this activity, our Club has been able to complete the first phase of the beautification project for Beaver Dam High School. Funds raised this year will allow us to work on Phase II.”
Buchhalter added, “It is so rewarding to see our efforts reflected in a worthwhile local project such as this. It’s what Rotary’s objective is all about – serving our communities and helping out wherever possible.”
Cost per team remains at $270 or $45 per player. Players should look for businesses to sponsor them and then create a fun team name.
This year in addition to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners, there will be a “Best Team Name” contest for the best/funniest team name.
So, gather your friends, family and co-workers together for a day of fun participating in this year’s “dirtiest job…..after all, someone has to do it!”
