Race Timing: August 2nd is the next race to be timed. This is in Jasper and it is the Strassenfest 5K. If anyone would like to volunteer, please contact Gordon or Ray Pritchett, ASAP. As of the last meeting the Run Score program was to be purchased. Shane will need to submit an invoice for all the past races timed this year. It has been motioned to vote on severing ties with Shane as our timer. It was approved by the board. Gordon will pick up all equipment. A guideline will be set on what the race directors need in future races, as not to get the timer confused with the results. The club will use cards until further notice. A Thank you card will be sent to Shane. We have one possible candidate. Princeton race will use some of the equipment for a $50 fee. The Art's Council wants to borrow 10 stopwatches for July 20th.
