It’s election season! Remember, all board positions are open positions. We would not/should not be offended or put out by 2 or more people running for the same position. It means that GLRR has fantastic members who are interested in keeping the club at its best! If you are interested but have questions, please reach out to any board member. Our email addresses are listed on our website, or you can reply to this message.
Here are some key dates.
Please remember that if you plan to nominate yourself or others, nominations are due by 11:59pm on Dec. 31. (But I hope to hear from people sooner rather than later just for housekeeping reasons.)
Our next Board Meeting is at 6:30 on Monday, December 18. Board Meetings are always open for our general members to observe. If you are interested in running for a position, attending this Monday is a great way to get a better idea of what goes on. Email secretary@glrr.net for more infor about the Board Meeting.
Have you renewed you membership? In order to be eligible to vote on January 29, 2024, our by-laws state you must be a member in good standing 30 days prior to the election. This means that you should renew by 11:59pm on Dec. 30, 2023. For example, if you renewed on Jan. 2, 2024, you would not be eligible to vote.
General Reminders:
We do not have a Monday night club meeting in December. Instead, our monthly meeting will take place on Sat. Dec. 23 after our Christmas Run. We start with a group run at 8am and then, while we enjoy party festivities, we will hold a brief Dec. club meeting.
We will continue to collect toiletries and small kitchen items for The Wish Project on Sat. Dec. 16 from 8am to about 9:30am and at our Christmas Run on Sat. Dec. 23.
If you have never been to one of our Saturday Group Runs, we hope you will make our Christmas Run your first. We usually have over 100 members attend. Let’s make this year our biggest!
Things to know:
- Please arrive between 7:30-7:45am to
- park in the back of the parking lot near Define Fitness
- sign in (no one will be left out on the road)
- get ready for our photo that will be promptly taken at 8am
After the photo we are off. Many of us keep this run to just 3 or 5 miles in order to get back for the party, but that is up to you. We have runners and walkers of all paces.
You are welcome to bring food or beverages to share and enjoy (totally optional). We often have quite a variety. Last year we had a gluten free table. If you choose to bring a gluten free item or other specialty items such as a vegan platter, please label it so people can make decisions for themselves.
You are welcome to bring a change of clothes, so you don’t stand around in wet clothes from your run. You may even choose to wear an “Ugly Sweater” and participate in our contest.
If you have a red or blue holiday hat from years past, please bring it. If you don’t, we will have some, (first come, first served,) at the clubhouse. Also, Melanie, our Social Director, is looking for a few people to help clean-up after the party. Please click here if you can help. It’s a great way to meet more club members.
Keep running,
Amy Breen
