The FLRC Board of Directors will have its monthly meeting on Wednesday, September 11, at 6:15 PM via Zoom. All our meetings are open to the public, so if you’d like to attend, email board-meeting@fingerlakesrunners.org to receive the Zoom connection details via auto-reply (and let me know if you don’t get the auto-reply). The link is the same if you’ve previously requested it.
Our board meetings revolve around club and committee activity updates, including a report on the club’s financial position and quick coverage of past and upcoming races. This month, our main discussions will revolve around checking in on our end-of-summer races, a proposed AED donation, a new race director, and possible new board members. If you’re interested in learning more about how the club operates, I encourage you to attend.
I open each board meeting with a quick acknowledgment of those who have gone above and beyond in volunteering for the club in the past month. To give credit where it’s due in public, please join me in thanking the following people:
- Steve Vanek, Steve Jesch, Steve Shaum, and Nancy “Steve” Kleinrock for directing the Two Hollows Monster Marathon and Half Marathon. They did a monstrous job, complete with hand-knitted chili peppers and hand-crafted hot sauce as finisher awards.
- Gary McCheyne for directing the Ithaca 5&10 with aplomb on Sunday despite it drawing the largest field by far in the last 20 years. Special thanks to Tonya Engst for going above and beyond with coordinating check-in desk volunteers and shirt pickups once we realized the race was so much larger than normal.
