Mike Higney reported on the race timing and stated we have two races coming up that will be timed by our club. The Jasper Wetloff will be August 7 and the Pike Co. 5K is August 14. He is going to confirm these races.

Chad Hartmann was not in attendance, but Richard discussed the web page and the ideas of possibly creating a online news letter. 

There was no discussions of the following committee's : Banquet, Race Calendar, Walker's or Membership as the directors were not in attendance.

The topic of an online newsletter was discussed and our visitor gave valuable insight on how the Runner's / Walker's Club from Cincinnati did their letter. We decided that more information was needed and also input from the members would decide if this was a sensible and wise decision to make. This would be discussed more in depth at a future time.

Information on the picnic was discussed and updated by Don Nichols. It will be held on August 15 at 3:30 at Wesselman's Park. It will be open to non-members this year. Bob is heading up a horseshoe tournament to be held this day. Final picnic information will be discussed at the next meeting.

The scholarship winners will be honored at our next meeting.

The summer track program is going well and volunteers are still needed for some of the meets. Please contact the club if you are interested in helping.

The Otter Run will be held July 10. Richard needs some more volunteers for this also. Please contact him if you are able to help out. This is one of our fundraisers for the club.

The meeting was adjourned and the next meeting is scheduled for July 14, 2004.
