Special Guests:
Linda Strange and other members of the Banquet Committee reported the
current status of the banquet: La Renaissance will charge the club $18.95
per meal. Each attendee will pay $10 per adult (over 12 years of age)
and $5 for kids (ages 7 through 12). The club will supplement the cost
difference for meals. Children 6 and under will be free. Each attendee
must select whether they wish a vegetarian or non-vegetarian meal so the
restaurant can plan accordingly. Ken Raich agreed to modify the online
signup program to capture the number of people in each age category and
the types of meals requested. Voting for Runner of the Year will be online
(SCR Webmaster Paul LaBar will write a routine to handle the voting).
Members must be 18 or over to vote. The restaurant doors will open at
6:00 PM with the food being served at 6:30. The program is scheduled to
begin at 7:00 PM. During next month’s SCR meeting the participants
will vote for the “Dirty Sweatsock” and “Outstanding
Club Member” awards. They meeting attendees thanked the Banquet
Committee for all the work they have done to organize this event.
Minutes from the October meeting were approved
Officer Reports:
Treasurer's report – The club has slightly less in funds than
we had at this time last year. It was noted that the Florence Chamber
of Commerce had submitted a check to SCR for bibs they had purchased.
The treasurer's report was approved as presented. Newsletter Editor -
Ron Dehn reminded the club that a single Dec/Jan edition of the newsletter
will be mailed during the first week of January. Membership Chair - Don
Pfost announced we currently have 215 paid members. This is the highest
our membership has ever been at this time of the year. It was also noted
that SCR has not been receiving bills from Colorado Runner Magazine. Don
will ask about the billing when he sends our next mailing list to Colorado
Runner. Webmaster - On December 1st SCR will begin moving our web site
to different service provider. A motion was passed to fund two years cost
for the new web service. The cost is expected to be about $100 per year
for the web server and $75 per year for an SSL certificate. HostGator
has quoted a $13.95/month plan for a business account which includes an
SSL certificate. A 2-year commitment for this plan will be $334.80. Our
existing web service will expire on December 23.
Upcoming Events:
Atalanta Women’s Run: Jacqueline Wall and Stacey Diaz announced
that running hats will be distributed to each runner in lieu of T-shirts.
In addition, each finisher will receive a charm bracelet. The course will
be the same “Aberdene Course“ as last year. Temple Canyon
Prediction Race: Rich Hadley announced that the race is “on track”
for November 29th. RockCanyon Half Marathon: Dave Diaz informed the club
that planning for the race is moving smoothly. The logo is being prepared
and will be sent to Ken Raich so medals can be ordered with the logo imprinted.
Dave collected volunteer names for the finish line. Jacqueline Wall is
doing data entry and volunteered to help with the results. Valentine’s
Day Race: Jeff Arnold told the club that this year’s Valentine’s
Day race will actually take place on February 14th. Spring Runoff: Terry
Cathcart announced he is working with Paulette Stuart to determine this
year’s changes. The Chieftain wishes to lower this year’s
costs so they are considering less expensive shirts (last year technical
shirts were distributed) and alternatives to renting a tent. They expect
to have the same races and courses as last year.
Activity Recaps:
Dave Diaz announced the Harvest Run was well attended. There was a communication
“glitch” between the Sheriff’s Dept. and the Fire Dept.
concerning approval for the bonfire, but Dave worked things out with both
departments.
New Stuff/Old Stuff:
Ad Prices for Sponsors: Ron Dehn told the club he had provided Almighty Muscle with a half page ad. Because they are an SCR sponsor, Almighty Muscle was charged the price of a business card ad Ron requested the club establish a price policy for “Sponsor Ads”. The club requested that Ron create a price list and present it at the next meeting for a vote. Race Calendar: Dave Diaz is putting together a “Club Event Calendar” to submit to RRCA for insurance purposes. This needs to be submitted to RRCA every year in December with our RRCA membership renewal. New Office Committee: Don Pfost and Paul LaBar announced they are putting together candidate names for the 2009 SCR Officers. YMCA Thank You: The Pueblo YMCA sent a letter to SCR thanking the members for helping with the Corporate Cup events.
Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned just in time
at 9:00 P.M.
