November Updates

Announcement, Races, Volunteering
No Thanksgiving Day group run from the Coop I did not get any real interest in opening the Coop for a Thanksgiving Day group run after asking in an email and at a club meeting.

There are 2 spots still open and we could always use a few extra hands if you are not signed up but decide to stop by. If you are helping, you may want to bring work gloves if you have any, especially if you will be handling the wooden signs. We do have rubber gloves…
