Existing Business

  • Insurance Claim – We haven’t heard much. 
  • Ideas for 60th Anniversary
    • Lisa did a design that we all liked. 
    • July race = party date.  Cake with Lisa’s design.  Birthday party.  Something cheap that we’d pay for with this design.  50s theme?
  • Emergency Plan
    • Red Binder
    • Board / RD Contact Info
  • Track
    • Proposal
    • Club voted to use Wheat Ridge HS’s dirt track.  This is free.  Rick will let Wheat Ridge know.  Dave will update the website.  Greg will promote it.
  • General Club Swag – Cassi’s idea.  Deferred
  • Rev Run – drop this. Deb didn’t talk to Rev Run and doesn’t see what they would gain from this.
  • Team RWB – nothing further.
  • Snooze – have heard nothing back.

New Business

  1. Predict Run – idea was to do this as a fun event.  Board wondered what the purpose was.  Idea was to do either this or the July race as the 60th anniversary event.  Or, maybe do a longer TS race as a predict run w/o your watch.
  2. Long run – should the club put on a long run?  In the past, these have been poorly attended.  Greg’s current response is to send them to the Colfax affiliated list.
  3. Club email addresses.  Yes, you can respond to RMRR email through the RMRR.org account.  You can set it up in gmail.  Dave put together instructions for Travis.

Next meeting Monday, April 29 at Bardo Coffee
