2018 July Board Meeting Minutes

7/2/18, 6-8pm, Leslie Mitchell residence.

Attendees:  Ang Hamel, Leslie Mitchell, Dave Cunningham, David Rothenburger, Lisa Wilson, Rick Edrich, Deb Cunningham

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.

Sept race will be 10 milers + MTS.  Start times:  7am – 20 mile MTS.  8am: 10 mile MTS, 10 mile RMRR TS, and 5k.

Westword Best Run Club plaque:  Board loves that plaque.  Worried it will get scratched or broken.  Leslie will look into an inexpensive frame.  Lisa can donate her easel to display the award.

Summer suds:  Low turnout, but is still building camaraderie.    Held every other week on Tuesdays.  Last time – 4 runners and 6-7 beer drinkers.

Loyalty program.  Ang & Lisa raised the idea that Belmar uses to award shirts and other merchandise for participation.   Any tracking is responsibility of the runner.  Board liked it.  Lisa & Ang to think about it more & board will decide in September.
