BEGINNING RUNNING MENTORS AND SPEAKERS WANTED! Plus FREE BREAKFASTS FOR ALUMNI! A note from Evan Thomas: For those who are wondering what you can do to "put something back" into running, I suggest that helping with the Beginning Running Class is one way to do it. We are looking for motivated members who can stop by the Bates Track on Tuesday/Thursday at 6 pm or Saturday at 8 am and be a resource to the new runners and be able to lend your advice to one or more of the participants. We would also welcome anyone who would like to share how they got started in running with the class--5 minutes or so would be fine in terms of length. The new runners are like sponges; they will soak up whatever they can from us and if it is given in a positive manner, the more they will retain.
Please let me, Evan Thomas , or Paul Thorn
know if you can help.
Also, we are inviting previous graduates to come out on certain Saturdays for some free breakfast and story telling. The following dates are proposed:
- Graduates of classes from 1993 to 1999 Saturday, May 5th
- Graduates of classes from 2000 to 2009 Saturday, June 2nd
- Graduates of classes from 2010 and 2011, Saturday, June 16th
We will have bagels, coffee and other enticements available for those who show up. Please let me, Evan Thomas, or Paul Thorn know which session you can attend.
