The responses will help the board to make improvements to our club. The next E-news will go out on September 27, 2010 to promote in store registration for the A1A Training Run on October 2, 2010. Thank you Jon for the great job that you do with the E-News.
Newsletter (SFRF): Cynthia Barnard
Robin Shachner has found that the job of Newsletter Editor is overwhelming for one person. She has asked for assistance. It was moved that Megan McKenzie will assume the position of Newsletter Editor and will fill the existing position on the Board of Directors. She and Robin will work together to publish the newsletter for future publications.
Thursday Fun Run: Cynthia Barnard
The run on September 9th, Rosh-Hashanah, had 29 participants. The average is 35. Attendance was affected by the Jewish holiday which began that evening.
Saturday Training Run: The average is 25 participants.
Sunday Training Run: The average is 30-35 participants. Gatorade was available on the course on Sunday, September 5, 2010 because the volunteer for that week put out Gatorade. The club decision has not changed and we will continue to put out water only.
New Constitution: Nancy Rose Peduzzi
The proposed changes have been circulated for the past few weeks at the various training runs. We have exceeded the number of signatures that were needed to submit it to the president for inclusion in the newsletter prior to the vote at the upcoming annual meeting. Bob Barnard moved that the annual meeting be changed to Thursday, November 18, 2010 at 8:30 PM. The motion was seconded and approved unanimously. The vote on the By-Laws and Constitution, as well as the election of officers, will be held following the Thursday night Fun Run on November 18, 2010.
Kick-off 5K: Bob Barnard
The event was a success. Approximately 400 runners participated in the event. We may have made a slight profit at this race. More information will follow.
Fall Fling: Bob Barnard
Bob Schnell did a wonderful job photographing the event. 245 entrants participated in the race. This was the first race in which we used the new scoring company, AccuChip Timing. Everything went smoothly. The new course was well-received. It was suggested to widen and lengthen the finish line next year because many early finishers were actually standing on the finish line as slower racers finished their race.
Sneaker Strut: Cynthia Barnard
Inclement weather affected the turnout. There were about 40 people in attendance. We are very thankful for the support the Coconut Creek Starbucks store has given to the club.
A1A 15K/30K – Bob
We are in the process of getting the race approved. There is a new contact person with whom we are working this year. It will be necessary for us to have police at this event this year. The application will be available on September 10, 2010. Shirts will be provided by the A1A Marathon.
Spooktacular – Bob
The race is ready to go and will be staged at TY Park in Hollywood. The application will be out next week. Cynthia is in the process of ordering awards.
Singlet Sponsor/Starbucks – Bob
There has been no decision made to date about the new volunteer shirts for the A1A training run. We are still working with Renee Grant, at Runner’s Depot, concerning the order.
Social Networking/Media:
Membership on our Facebook page is successful. 132 people are now friends of our page. People like our wall posts and visit our site. The number is growing each week.
Jingle Bell Jog – Bob
Total operation of the race has been offered to GFLRRC by the current sponsor, Broward Health Foundation, with the stipulation that a portion of the proceeds be given back to the Broward Health Foundation. The BHF also maintains the option to retake control of the race in 2011. A motion was made and seconded to accept operation of the Jingle Bell Jog as a GFLRRC sponsored timed run. The motion carried unanimously.
New racks for the warehouse –
We are in need of replacing the plastic shelves in the club’s warehouse storage unit. It was suggested to purchase metal shelving. The approximate cost will be $500.00. A motion was made and seconded to allocate $500.00 to purchase the shelving. It was approved by a unanimous vote.
