The April 5 meeting of SRR was called to order by Tom Hagerty at 7:30pm, Khoury's (where else?). 16 members present.

Business discussed included:

  1. Boston Marathon Numbers: thank you letter to be written to BAA by John Evans

  2. BAA BM Jimmy Fund Walk: part of the thank-you to BAA. Need to get some volunteers to help out with this. Tom getting the contact info for this.

  3. Co-Ventures, Inc: They run the Tufts 10K, Corporate Challenge. Dan to contact them. This is a money-maker for the club depending upon how many volunteers we get. We set up a waterstop I guess.

  4. New Members Welcoming: Tom has a template letter to be sent out to new members.

  5. USATF Championship Races: next up is Bedford 12K in NH, 22 of May. Discussed having team captains to take charge of recruiting people. Steve Burton, Aileen Mason, Nancy Givens possible leads here.

  6. Vermont City Marathon / Relay: Just heard that the relay closed, so we might be out of luck here. I'm going anyway.

  7. Thursday Night Run Flyer Distribution: We need to do a better job making sure that flyers are replenished at places like Marathon Sports.

  8. Outdoor Track: to begin after Boston Marathon. Concensus is for Tufts Track. Probaby at 6:30.

  9. Bulk Mail Permit: Aileen Mason to pick up a permit. Should save us big bucks. Some discussion on how much to use the internet, mailing lists.

  10. Khoury's 20km: The date used to be the 3rd Thursday, but this would conflict with the Bedford race in NH, so we moved it back to the 2nd Thursday.

  11. Fuhgedaboutit 7 Series: First race is coming up, day before Boston Marathon.

  12. SRR vs. CSU softball game: Glenn O'Connor handling this? May is pretty busy, might get moved back into June.

  13. Clothing / Pen sales: Should we give out new pens to new people at Khoury's? Talk about designing a new logo. Current one has too many colors to do for a reasonable price? Ideas needed.

  14. Purchasing Club items for next year: Do we want to buy ourselves a digital clock? Some members reluctant on this. Needs further thought.

  15. Monthly Newsletter: Dan Solomon to be the first victem interviewed.
