June was another exciting racing month for AREC. We may have to change the points scale in the Grand Prix because there are so many people doing each race. In fact, on a Hashing Thursday, we had 8 AREC members participating in the Summer Solstice Race.
Also, just wanted to put out a congratulations to two of our regulars - Jamie Brooks and AREC Treasurer Brandy Phillips were married June 9th. Also, Jamie finished up his college degree, so we expect to see more of these two, especially Jamie issuing a challenge to Tim Hickok, Victor Hernandez, and Chuck Sohaskey.
Also, special thanks to Sam and Karine Brooks for opening their home to AREC members on the 4th of July. Not too many people showed up, but I had fun!
Again, just my little blurb on membership. Twenty-one AREC members have signed up. Again, I’ll remind you that there’s no requirement to join, but doing so supports the club and insures you against accidents while participating in club activity. If you are thinking about joining, but want more, please talk with Todd, Todd or myself and we will definitely look into it. Also, don’t dissuade your friends from coming out and running with us, because, I think that, the more people show up, the more fun everyone has.
Lastly, another plug for articles/input for the newsletter. As you may well imagine, it’s a lot of work for me, especially now that I have to use my home computer (it’s VERY slow). I would LOVE to have a feature article on an AREC member, so if you’re not that fond of writing, just talk to me! I would also like to begin doing an on-line race review page. If you have run a race in the past month, rate it on an Excellent-Good-Fair-Poor scale in the following areas: Price, Registration, Course, Shirt, and Support. Lastly, for the newsletter, I would like to get your race results ASAP. It’s usually easier to hear it from you all, than to find them on-line.
