neat to have someone up the course texting names so announcers can announce them coming
Marketing

2015 Race Schedule
change to City Park race – April 12
Ric R – concern about July 31 race – he would miss it. Can we switch? If we do the first Friday in August, it’s the night before Georgetown. But…Ric has been running for 30 years and we should help out. David will work on this.
Ideas for goals for next year
– new people usually sign up via active, while renewers are doing it via check
– need to push the “I am a Runner” idea
– better presence in Stores
– water bottle or socks to people who do
– something for people who join the club
Why so many people the year of the 50th Anniversary?
– lots of energy, lots of work from Deb and others
New members and building connection
idea of increase dues $10, give people an RMRR shirt. No one assigned to work on it yet – will discuss at next meeting.
December Board meeting
at Cunninghams on Dec 1. It will be our open meeting for the year, so we will invite all members, have a pot luck, beer provided. Two key things – board election and discuss next year plan.
Anything else
