LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Happy Summer Annapolis Striders!
N ow is the time to dust off your running shoes and sign up for another race or training program. After a cold start to the year and a challenging winter season, we’ve been rewarded with much better weather. This year will be
presented to Championship Series winners, Ironman recipients, and our annual club award winners. Congratulations to everyone who received their recognition! Finally, I would like to end this letter by thanking all the officers, race directors, board of directors, and club membership that regularly attend the monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of each month. The support you have given me during the last three years as President of the Annapolis Striders is
Casey Rayburg President
the 50th Annual Annapolis 10 Mile Run on Sunday, August 24th. It was selected by the Road Runners Club of America as the RRCA National Championship race for the 10 mile distance. All club members should plan to run and / or volunteer in it. We want to show the out-of-town runners why Annapolis is such a special place to run. As you pick out your other running events, don’t forget to give back to the club in the form of volunteering. As an all- volunteer nonprofit running club, we rely on volunteers. There are all sorts of ways to volunteer. You don’t even have to skip a race to do it. You can volunteer to set up or clean up at a race. We always need coaches for the training groups. The club even offers a way to get full reimbursement for an RRCA Level 1 Coaching Certification. Additionally, we use volunteers in administrative roles such as the board of directors, committee members, managing the website, keeping the E-Streak updated, and many more ways. For more information on becoming an Annapolis Striders coach, contact Bob Moseley (vp_training@annapolisstriders.org). For information on volunteering at races or becoming a race director, contact Tom Lyden (vp_races@annapolisstriders.org). For information on becoming a board member or another administra-tive role, please contact Jim Falvey (vp_admin@annapolis striders.org). We recently held the annual Annapolis Striders Awards Banquet and meeting. It was great to see so many friendly faces attend and receive their well-deserved awards (and a delicious Italian dinner) at Libations in Mill- ersville. It was organized by your social com- mittee of Eva Coale, Nicole Dawson, Chris Stachurski, and Ted Logothetti. Awards were
incalculable. I wish Darrell Mak the best of luck during his administration which begins on April 1st. The club would not function without all of these people regularly giving up their time.
Thank you! Very respectfully, Casey Rayburg President, Annapolis Striders, Inc.
