Officer Reports:
Treasurer's report – The club has almost the same amount of cash
we had at this time last year. The question was asked if Larry Volk paid
the park fee for the South Shore Adventure. Paulette Arns will check with
Larry. Paulette also announced that the Nature Center provided the club
with some parking permits as s “Thank You” for our contribution.
We suggested giving away these permits as door prizes during the banquet.
The treasurer's report was approved as presented. Newsletter Editor -
Ron Dehn notified the club that a single Dec/Jan edition of the newsletter
will be mailed at the end of November. The tentative stuffing date will
be October 29 for the November newsletter and December 3 for the Dec/Jan
newsletter. Ron also notified the club that postal costs have risen from
$40/month to $81/month during the past year. Also, our annual postal permit
costs $180. Membership Chair - Don Pfost announced we are still receiving
new memberships this close to the end of the membership year. Currently,
we are mailing 237 newsletters and 157 of our members have requested to
receive Colorado Runner Magazine. Membership Chair -The Webmaster was
not present to give a webmaster report. Ken Raich announced that in December
SCR will move our web site to different service provider. During the November
meeting the club will be asked to fund a year’s cost for the new
web service. The anticipated annual cost is less than $100 for the web
server and about $75 for an SSL certificate. Our exiting web service will
expire on December 23.
Upcoming Events:
Atalanta Run: Jacqueline Wall announced that the Atalanta Run and November
8 is “on track” and receiving applications. Kathi will again
provide the awards. Hats and bracelets will be given to all finishers.
Entry forms went out in the last newsletter.
Activity Recaps:
South Shore Adventure: We have been receiving very favorable comments
from many who attended. This was a very good course and the runners really
liked it. Corporate Cup: It was suggested that next year the walkers start
in the 2nd wave of the 1-Mile race. There were also some other concerns
about the “Y” and the club will discuss these during next
month’s meeting.
New Stuff/Old Stuff:
No one was present from the Banquet Committee to discuss the banquet. We will make sure to get a briefing during next month’s meeting. Loaning Equipment: It was suggested that the club list loaned equipment as a “$100 donation in kind” on our income tax filings. The membership agreed this was a great idea because we currently loan equipment several times per year and get no compensation. Spring Runoff: Terry Cathcart will be asked to contact Paulette Stuart about the Spring Runoff. We understand the Chieftain wishes to cut costs this year and we need to decide early where we intend to cut.
Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned just in time
at 9:00 P.M.
