Membership Renewal

Membership
We are in process of consolidating our membership database and emailing system through RunSignUp. To have a more automated system to track memberships and communicate with our members.   Part of that process was to import current memberships. We completed the upload for all individual memberships and are in the process of manually entering family memberships at this time. We thought we had worked through any potential issues, so we activated the link.   We were unaware that you need to "claim" your account with us to "renew" your membership. If you haven't tried to renew your membership, please click on the link below.   http://runsignup.com/claimaccounts You may find several accounts; these may be other running groups you belong to or past races.

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. So, enjoy your Turkey day races, running on your own from home, or taking a well deserved rest day.    Inventory Day this Sat. 11/16 from 9-3:00 I will start around 8:30 and there are a variety of different shifts. 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…
