It
has back been a summer of change and mixed weather. Bob Hart, club president,
had to take a short leave of office to undergo back surgery. Surgery went well,
he is a bit ahead of schedule on his recovery and back at the helm as
president.
Tommy
Goodson, vice president and interim president during Bob’s down time did
another fantastic job of directing the White River Run. Tommy and Lori seem to
keep improving this run for the better each year. And as we all know, the director needs a
great volunteer staff and Tommy has a good group to assist him.
Carolyn
McKinney is doing a fine job of keeping the membership updated through ARRC
News briefings. Her pictures are a nice addition also.
Due to flooding from a week of downpours, the Thursday Night Points race
on 10 July was cancelled. Apparently the damage to the path was minimal. Runners
and walkers were devising new routes, much like winter running, due to all the
water on the normal paths and trails.

Thank you to those who have supported our Thursday Night Point races with race awards. It’s the little extras from those extra-good members that make our club one of the best. Speaking of best…give Bob Kearns a word of thanks for once again marking the path, even in 1/8 mile increments for those wanting to time shorter sprints. Not to mention the fine job Bob is doing as race director for the Thursday Night Point races. Don’t forget his sweet wife, Elsie who is always on hand at the finish line passing out sticks.
Interested in becoming a “Friend of the Children’s Fun Run?” Contact Frankie St. Phillips for more information. The Fun Run is free to any child 0-12 years old, however, the cost of ribbons, prizes and refreshments come at a cost. Please consider a monetary donation or contribution to the refreshments/prizes.
