Minutes from the September 2007 meeting were approved.
Officer Reports: : Treasurer's report - The treasurer's report was approved as presented. Newsletter Editor - Ron Dehn reported that the October issue of Footprints had been delivered by the post office in only a few days. Membership Chair - Don Pfost reported that the club has 185 members paid to date and 208 newsletters were mailed last month. 141 members of the club have requested to receive Colorado Runner magazine. Don suggested the 2008 membership form have the “Telephone Committee” checkbox replaced with “Newsletter Contributer”. The club determined this was an excellent suggestion because the “Telephone Committee” had not been used in years (word now gets out through the web page and post cards) Ken Raich agreed to make the same substitution on the membership signup web page. Webmaster - Paul LaBar announced a committee has been formed to update the style of the web page. The kickoff meeting is scheduled for next week.
Upcoming Events: Lori Gregory talked about the Little Run on The Prairie for 2008. The event will take place on June 14th at 7:30 AM in Pueblo West’s Lovell Park. The 2008 event will feature a 5K run and a 2-Mile walk. Mike Archuleta announced he was ready for the Survival Run, but had not yet received many entries. Thanks to Dave Diaz for picking up the Survival Run flyers from the YMCA and bringing them to the Gold Dust for the newsletter folding. Dave Diaz said the Harvest Run is on schedule, however, the Fire Marshal in Pueblo West in concerned about the wind. The bonfire permit will not be issued until the day of the event…wind permitting. Whether or not a fire permit is issued, the race will take place. Dave has reserved Lovell Park in Pueblo West from 4:00 PM through 10:00 PM. Todd Kelly announced that the Spank Blasing Run will take place on April 19th, 2008. He is thinking about adding a 2-Mile walk to the event.
Recaps/Updates/Revisits: Don Pfost said the South Shore Adventure on September 9th went very well. There were 23 finishers and the course was terrific. The Hot To Trot on September 23rd had 175 participants sign up for the run, walk, and Kiddie K. This race has certainly been growing bigger each year.
New Stuff/Old Stuff: Todd Kelly introduced the club to Chad Perry, the new CSU Track coach. Chad told the club about his past and spoke about the CSU participants. Chad is enthused about SCR activities and intends to become involved with the club. Stan Hren sent the club a notice about Pueblo West holding meetings to get input to their Parks and Recreation Dept. We asked if anyone from SCR could attend one of these meetings. Paulette Arns said she was interested and Ken Raich agreed to give her the meeting schedule. It was asked if a “Jingle Bell Run” would be held again in 2007. Ken Raich said he would ask Runt McDonald and get back to the club.
Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 P.M.
