July Race: RDs = David R & Scott Kukel. Volunteers – short of non-running. Yes to the new course that avoids running on the bike path. WRT bring a friend to the race, we want to collect email addresses so can market to these folks. We’ll have a 2nd table for registration and use the waiver form to collect email addresses. Guests can also provide an email address.
June race recap: Portapotty was late. Want Janet Fairs to call company to see if we can get a refund. WRT bathrooms in park, the park EEs had no clue we would be there & unlocked on their normal schedule. In the future, we need to ask the permit person to get the bathrooms unlocked. Griddle had two of the three burners broken. Still could cook pancakes, but it was slower. David R will investigate purchasing a griddle.
Volunteer of the Month – Stacy Hogge for cooking the pancakes.
Treasurer’s Report: Net loss of $1400. That’s not uncommon for this time of the year. $200 worse than last year. Big expense vs last year = track permit.
Dave C and Dave Kahn’s mtg w/ Adam Feerst on scorring program hasn’t happened yet. Adam has the info, but mtg not schedule yet. Dave C & Scott Newman did resolve issues w/ syncing databases, so tags s/b correct this time.
August Race – it’s a go to combine w/ masters. Scott Newman, RMRR RD has been talking to Jennifer Forker, CMRA RD. THis race will be a mass start.
