2010 club goal – Runnin’Fun: (10 mins)
- Run n’ Fun: Let’s meet in front of the Goodson Rec Center at 6:00 on Monday 7/26. We can do a run on the Highline and end up at the Mellow Mushroom (2154 E Commons Ave, Centennial, CO 80122) here by the library for pizza and beer. The board approved the event with a move to Monday night to avoid competition with other social running groups.
Membership (10 mins) – Eric – Nothing new to report.
Marketing and PR (10 mins) – Kevin, Aurora, Dave C
- Giveaways – Deb didn’t look at items Holly suggested. Looking for small item to give away to members & include with new membership letters. Deb will look at items Holly suggested.
- PR – Aurora. Article in the competitor was pushed off until August. 5280 Best Of… changed focus, so we could not compete in the new categories. Aurora will work on promoting MTS next.
- Colorado Runner should have put our ad in their latest issue. It’s not in – we’re not sure why. Thought we had a free ad because of including our club in the mailing list. Deb to follow-up.
- Facebook friends leveled out at 325. Aurora suggested a campaign to get to 400 or 500 by the MTS. Kevin, Aurora & Dave to discuss strategy.
