Minutes for the August 2007 Meeting were approved, with correction of the August 2007 date instead of July 2007.
Special Guests: Victoria Esquibel was present to discuss the Corporate
Cup 5K on September 15 and Mile run/walk on September 20. She was requesting
the assistance of SCR at the 5K, which had 818 participants signed up. She noted
the course has changed. She also has 8 volunteers of her own to help so far.
Dave Diaz is going to gather other volunteers, he took names at the meeting,
and was going to contact others that he thought would be interested. Victoria
also discussed the Bike ride for the Corporate Cup, on September 16. She noted
TTCI does the course marking and most of the other foot work. The only thing
she needed was the hand held clocks for timing, and possibly a few volunteers,
as TTCI does the timing, and finish line as well.
Steve and Jennifer Lopez came to tell SCR about their new store, Almighty Muscle,
as well as Neo Pneuma Bodyworks shop they have. They are Massage Therapists,
they have an Esthetician available, and an Accupuncturist at the Bodyworks shop.
Almighty Muscle has a variety of items available to runners, bikers, and swimmers,
as well as other active people. They also wanted to let SCR know about the 20%
discount available to its members. All members with a newsletter on hand when
in the store will get 20% off any purchase, excluding sales and clearance items.
They discussed with Don Pfost the Membership Chair about the possibility of
getting a list of members so if anyone was to go into the store without their
letter they would still be eligible for the discount. They discussed a desire
to bring back multisport events such as the Y-Bi, and Ordinary Mortals events.
They brought examples of the products they have available, and talked about
what they plan to have available in the future. They are located on 517 W 5th
St. in Suite 107. They also gave a website for out of town shoppers to visit:
www.almightymuscle.com. It was a pleasure having them at our meeting.
Officer Reports: : Secretary: Neither Stan Hren, nor Theresa Duran had
anything new, neither one were abe to attend the August meeting. Treasurer:
Dave Diaz gave the treasurers report which was approved. He discussed the SCR
picnic expenses which did not go much over the expenses for the picnic last
year (2006). The club is in good standing. Newsletter Editor: Ron Dehn, gave
his thanks to Rocky Khosla who notified Ron that he has written his last article
for the SCR Newletter. He was invited by Ron to write an article whenever possible.
Membership Chair: Don Pfost, gave his report of Membership in the club. SCR
has 183 paid members, 1 new membership was picked up in August. Webmaster: Paul
Lobar, announced that Don Pfost is going to be helping with updates. Ken Raich
has been helping with the Database for the Calendar, so that updates can be
done more easily as well. Paul also placed a link to the Almighty Muscle website
on the SCR website so that it can be visited by anyone visiting the SCR website.
Upcoming Events: The South Shore Adventure is coming up on September
9. It is an 8.3 mile run, and it is much easier than last year. Larry Volk measured
it with a GPS system and an odometer, the distance should be fairly accurate.
It was noted to watch for rattlesnakes when running. They have spent some time
cutting weeds down, but snakes are still in the area. The Survival Run was discussed
by Mike Archuleta and Mona Kurtz. It is going to be out at the Test track. Details
about the event were ironed out at the meeting. It was agreed that the event
would be a timed event, awards are going to be given to top finishers by age
category. Awards will be given to all walkers. There will be a chance drawing
for many prizes which include, a Nintendo Wii, Ipods, gift baskets, a 3 month
membership to the YMCA, a merchandise certificate from Almighty Muscle which
was offered up by Jennifer and Steve at the meeting, and much more. Mona talked
about the improvements to the program that have taken place over the last year.
She noted a My Space that has been put together by one of the 2 workstudies
that have been working with Rape Crisis, from CTU. That is at MySpace.com\Pueblorapecrisis.
Hot to Trot will be taking place on September 23. It is a 5K run and 2 mile
walk. Run starts as 8:00 A.M., walk starts at 7:45 A.M. and there will be a
Kiddie K that will take place before the walk at 7:45. Ken will check with Ruth
to make sure all bases are covered. Breakfast at the Gold Dust will be served
post race for all participants, as well as post race prizes will be given out.
Recaps/ Updates/Revisits: Splash ‘n Dash was cancelled, according
to Victoria signs were posted the night before, and all cancellations with those
who signed up went smooth. Moonlight Madness went really well. Participants
from Denver were there, they found out about it from Rocky Mountain Sports.
The Tunnel Drive was moved to the River Walk, and was well attended, and successful.
The SCR summer picnic was a success. The games were fun, and some food was left
over. The turn out was smaller than last year, but it was fun.
New Stuff/Old Stuff: Old stuff: Online race entry via the website is
something to be looked at for the future. The calendar manager would have to
maintain the Calendar. Possible membership entry online has been visited in
the past. If SCR chooses to proceed merchant accounts for credit card sales
would be available for a $10 service fee, as well as $0.30 per transaction,
which could then amount to about $400 to $500 in transaction fees per year for
accepting credit cards for online for memberships and race entry fees. This
option can be revisited in the future. New stuff: Jeff Arnold asked for assistance
in paying for the medals for the Colorado City Cross Country Meet. In the past
SCR has purchased the medal. It was approved to authorize $125 for this purpose.
Ken and Dave will help with the East High Cross Country Meet, Ken will have
the clock placed at the 1 mile mark. Ken or Dave will help at the Central Cross
Country Meet, and have the clock at the 1 mile mark on September 29. Also a
Thank You was sent by Troy Davenport and Samantha Davenport for the $250 Contribution
by SCR for the Ride for Kids for the Pueblo Child Advocacy Center.
Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 P.M.
