The FLRC Board of Directors will have its monthly meeting on Wednesday, August 12, at 6:00 PM in person at 50 Hickory Road in Ithaca (off the Skunk Cabbage half marathon course). Club members are welcome, but let me know so I can make sure to order enough ingredients for build-your-own-tacos. 
Our board meetings revolve around club and committee activity updates, including a report on the club’s financial position and a brief overview of past and upcoming races. This month, we’ll look back at the results from the Fillmore 5K, Trackapalooza, Forest Frolic, and Forge the Gorge, plus look forward to Monster Marathon and the Ithaca 5&10—it’s a busy season! We will also be talking about the utility of postponing races that have to be canceled and what to do about items left behind at races.
I open each board meeting with a quick acknowledgment of those who have gone above and beyond in volunteering for the club. This month, I want to acknowledge (deep breath) Lorrie Tily and Chris Irving for directing Fillmore 5K, Pete Dady and Mike Stone for directing Forest Frolic, Adam Engst, Tonya Engst, Dave Kania, Jesse Koennecke, Patrick Boyle, Bob Talda, Lizzy Rayle, Brett Shelton, Steve Wagner, Scott Weeks, and Janice Carter as the essential volunteers behind Trackapalooza, Lauren Milano and Dave Kania for buying and cooking food for the final Summer Speed workout potluck, Diana Hackett and Heather Cobb for hosting a party after the Sights of the Heights FLRC Challenge group run, Alan Lockett for directing Forge the Gorge, and Verity Platt for hosting a party after the Treman Trailipop FLRC Challenge group run.
