The Brooklin Lacrosse Club is an adult men's lacrosse club that plays weekly games at Iroquois Park Sports Centre in Whitby, ON. We generate a good number of fans and strive to provide them with an enjoyable game night experience.  We require a group of volunteers to assist with ticket taking, displaying and selling merchandise, providing fans with direction as needed and operating a frisbee toss game for our young fans during intermission. This year we are also seeking a Disc Jockey DJ position that can play music over the PA system before the game, during stoppages in play and during intermission. A laptop computer with pre-loaded music will be provided for this activity.
