Treasurer Report

  • Membership down a little from last year.
  • Have gotten no $$ from Space Age…did our deal expire?  Leslie will check gently.
  • But – spending is also down, so we’re doing ok with overall $$.
  • Also – checks came from Active that were addressed to our old office.  Someone needs to check Active to make sure our data is right.

Trophy Race – October Race

  • Comments about the race:  keep it for next year?
  • Course not a favorite
  • Race directors did a good job of marking the course
  • Some people got lost getting to the start; make sure the directions are right next time, Dave C….
  • This is a good location until we can return to Waterton.
  • Volunteers needed like always
  • Course 9 Mile and 5K

 

Trophy Series Race – November 13 Westminster City Park (Ric and Jeff)

Volunteer of the Month

Larry Mudron

 

Wed Long Runs

Still going, not a lot of people

Track Workouts – Done until next April

  • Will move to Wednesday next year
  • Could stay at Lincoln – Oscar Ponce is supportive

 

Schedule for next year

  • Problem with April – Saturday the 6th makes it hard on Stephanie and Brian.  Better to move it to Sunday the 1st.  Agreed.
  • MTS – Denver Marathon moved to Sept 23.  Do we still do 3 of them?  
    • Issues:  want to be three weeks ahead of key marathons…but that’s the day of Denver
    • People should look at the calendar and David’s proposed dates and come with a solution for next meeting.

 

RMRR Father Day’s Mile – City Park Friday June 15th  – Deb

Ray and Deb working hard on this.

  • Sponsors – can get goods more easily than cash.  Cash often requires a charity involved, and we don’t qualify.
  • Idea of forming a series of 1M runs with the other local mile runs.
  • Deb has talked with Zing tea
  • Want to have food afterwards
  • Need roughly 200 people to break even with Deb’s budget.
  • Want to have age group awards and merchandize awards for high school students
  • Timing through Mike Vanoni – $650 flat fee for up to 250 people, then $1 per person.
  • City park – busy the Friday night we wanted, so team is looking at other ideas.

Board approves doing the race, chip timing, etc.  Deb and Ray can run their plan.

Strategic Plan – Dave C

  • What are the Columbines doing that gets them going?  Leslie isn’t sure why; the woman/runner combo is important
  • Distance Divas – additional marathon training program that costs $40.  They have
  • What if…we get teams of people to lead some of these?

People like the idea of the plan, but need to focus more on community.  Since we need lots of members to engage, need to get their involvement in plan, perhaps?  Good to have a meeting where more people can come and comment.  Have food there, people will come.

Dave work on community aspect, then consider when we can have a meeting and invite other members.

Shirts

Dave’s work on the shirts paid off – they look fantastic.  He and friends will wear theirs to New York.  We’ll figure how to make these available to everyone else soon.

Next Meeting Monday November 28, 2011
