Treasurer’s Report
balance is up, membership payments are up
Race permits continue to become more expensive
Up $5300 from last year YTD – doing well
Still remaining are bigger year end expenses – awards, banquet, etc. – so final increase won’t be as big.
Potts Memorial
– thought of changing Mile High Loop in City Park
– but…could need City Council help, so Leslie meeting with people in November.
– let John Meyer know what’s going on
– Leslie also proposed that we rename the volunteer award for Potts; would get us some visibility. Did not review.
Trophy Series – October – Cherry Creek Trail – Parker
– Results – Trophy Race
– wondering why we had to run on dirt for a while. Reason is to make the turnaround easier, but it seems kind of weird.
– didn’t enjoy the walk from parking. Met with the HOA, and they expressed their worries about our race and crowding. Is what it is.
– did have one person miss the turn, and she was upset.
