Alex Cyr recently got a job at Canadian Running Magazine and his very first story will be on The PEI Roadrunners Club. Coming soon! I really enjoy his writing (have followed his blog for years). They wanted a “Club Photo” but best I could come up with was a group shot from about 5 years ago at the Wally Rodd. Told them it wasn’t a “Club Photo” but there would be many members there… it was our last Point Race of the season, old and well loved, and the Saturday morning group run from there.
Shoutout to Chris Gauthier for her great job running our Twitter account!
Shoutout to Cheri for helping with Facebook …. And *everything* else she does!!
I’m very sorry to see Barb Desroches resign from her position as Prince Co Rep. I have very much enjoyed and appreciated her input and contributions. Perhaps, going forward, she can help with suggestions on engaging & promoting “social runners”. I sincerely hope her frustrations with me/us did not cause her departure. I accept her criticism of my poor social & communication skills and apologize to you all. I share her frustrations over some of the recurrent themes of our discussions with little apparent action or change and so appreciated her challenges to the status quo. This is the kind of thinking & discussion needed if we are to make the changes that need to be made to sustain the Club. I hope we can all make the changes that need to be made as efficiently and effectively as possible.
The future direction of the Club –

The whole process can be broken down into a few tasks:
If you want to change databases or email addresses for memberships etc you may require new forms to be created and added to the webpage, printed etc)
