Mud Run Details

Just to be clear for everybody, we are going to meet at the park and ride at 9:15. The fun run starts at 10:15 with a $15 entry fee, more if you want a shirt. If anyone wants to do the competetive race with awards, it will start earlier and you will need to head to Slippery Rock before the group going with Fuzzy. All they provide is a hose to clean off with so take garbage bags for muddy clothes and definately some towels. Hopefully we don't freeze, hope to see a bunch of you there. It will be lots of fun!

Banquet Remarks

I wish to thank everyone for the wonderful gathering last evening. I am always delighted that I get to participate in such a way that I can see the "inside" of what makes us all do the things we do. We all are passionate about the same things: making young girls into confident young ladies, boys into accepting and motivated men. The self-discipline it takes to be a runner is truly at the heart of this building process. Our kids are special.

I am very lucky to have great parents who go above and beyond to make the banquet special for those deserving kids. I know we all want what's best for our kids, but it takes more than words to get things down, and YOU make that happen. Thank you.

As for me, it's been a great season. It seems that an era has ended--something feels different. This class of seniors? The make-up of our team? I don't know. I am sad. But life is a paradox, of course. And therefore, I am also happy.

I am already thinking about next year. What is possible?

Open Gyms begin the first week after Thanksgiving Break. Except if you run with Fuzzy at Woodcock Dam (Fuzzy never takes time off).

Banquet

Don't forget the finale of our season on Wednesday. Our banquet begins at 6pm with dinner, followed by presentations at 7 or so. I hope everyone has rsvp'ed to the Coons. Please remember to bring a side dish as the main course has been taken care of by the boosters. It is always a treat to see everyone one last time before we part and embark on other journeys until we can reconvene at Open Gyms or next season.

See you Wednesday!
