The FLRC Board of Directors will have its monthly meeting on Wednesday, July 12, at 6:30 PM at my house. All our meetings are open to the public, so if you’d like to attend, reply here or email me at ace@tidbits.com and I’ll send you the address. Be sure to say if you’d like to eat pizza too, so we can order enough for you.
Board meetings revolve around club and committee activity updates, including a report on the club’s financial position from the Finance Committee and quick coverage of recent past and near future races from the Race Committee. We will also be talking about policies surrounding possible race cancellations due to extreme environmental conditions, award structure if races allow changing of distances during the race, and more.
I open each board meeting with a quick acknowledgment of those who have gone above and beyond in volunteering for the club recently. To give credit where credit is due in public, I’d like to thank a slew of people—the list includes those who would have been thanked at last month’s board meeting, which was canceled due to needing the evening for the Twilight 5K postponement date.
