President's Message
Fellow
club members this is my “state of the club” message to you.
-A huge GOAL
for the board is to acquire a CHIP TIMMING SYSTEM. As of this moment, we are diligently working
on plan “A”, which is to get funding from a large company. Failing that, we
move on to plan “B” and we will keep moving on, even if it takes a plan “Z”.
The importance of getting a chip timing system is it will provide us the
ability to do larger races (1,000 plus runners/walkers), as well as the smaller
race. Presently, we are nearing the point of loosing some of the large races as
they grow.
-Our COMMUNICATIONS
has improved greatly with Tim Roman’s weekly updates of the clubs’ plans
and activities for each week.
-We are PROMOTING
the club with the sales of T-Shirts by making them available at every race
possible.
-For WALKERS,
the club is in the planning stage of a ‘walkers only’ race to be held some time
in the fall. The race will mirror the many 5k races that exist for runners.
There will be age group awards and different walking categories such as
race-walkers, baby-strollers, fun-walkers, etc.
Please give any input to the board that you believe will contribute to
this being a great event.
- The club is
currently searching for any company that would like to help SPONSER
any of the clubs races. Please send me
the company name and contact information of any organization interested in
supporting the community in this manner.
The clubs’ FUTURE is
definitely on the up swing and you will notice this at the Otters Race on
Sunday, July 27th at 5:00 pm.
The club has lined up more sponsors than ever before for this race. And,
we have a few extras planned for after the race. Then, it’s off to the ball
game!!!
Let me say in closing “the club is
changing”. Changing in ways to include
more people, such as walkers and beginning runners. Also, we are incorporating more fun into
events that the club is involved with.
Thank you,
Your
President, Chris Thomas
