RMEK is Live!

The RMEK is now live and open for registration! Over a thousand fliers are going home with elementary school children this week. We have already had 10 register. Please help spread the word and encourage kids to participate. Remember, this program is for all children. We are not just trying to pick up runners.
Tracy is looking for more volunteers to help support the weekly training session. You do not have to commit to every week. We already have some head coaches lined up, so you are coming to support them, and follow the plan that Tracy has created for the program. It is not rocky science. We need a smiling face, and a person to help motivate and encourage. You can post here, and/or email Tracy directly.
Each session starts at 5:30 pm and lasts an hour. Here are the dates of the sessions.
Tuesdays - Sports Complex Trail (beside the YMCA)
March 24, 31
April 7, 14, 21, 28
May 5, 12, 19, 26

Thursdays - Red Oak Park Trail (by Red Oak School)
March 26
April 2, 9, 16, 23, 30
May 7, 14, 21, 28

Lets help make this program a great success for Rocky Mount. Everyone should try to volunteer at least 2-3 times. This is only 2-3 hours of your time over the next three months. We can all try to find that time! Bring your running gear. . . 'cause we will be running!

    Thanks Kinnie! This is really appreciated.

    Please let Tracy know which specific days you can help. She has a calendar that she is completing, and needs to make sure every day is covered.

    Anyone else who is helping, let us know the specific days. Thanks!

    Tracey,

    15 kids signed up in the first two days of registration. . . .

    RMEC Members, WE NEED YOUR TIME. Please volunteer! Elaine and Misty are the head coaches for the Sports Complex Location, and Tracy is the head coach at Red Oak. We are not asking for you to be there every session, but we need to know we have adequate coverage.

    If we are short on volunteers, we will have to put in a cap. We want to encourage and motivate every child possible. We need you help to do this.

    Sign up to help. You will be glad you did!

    Once I get a Baseball schedule, I will more than likely be able to help out at the Y location, I will get back to Tracy.

    Hi Tracy,

    I am available any Thursdays but April 2 and May 21 (have a Tuesday PM class to teach). Plan on me for 3-4 and you can let me know when you have other responses which days you will need me. I'll keep them all open until I hear from you. Mary

    PS Joey swims, but on the days I help I would most likley have her with me if that is OK.

    Thanks Laura and Mary also for offering to help. Laura I put you down as a yes on the 9th and 16th. If you can make it the other two days, we can use you no matter what time you get there.

    Mary I have "penciled you in for 4/9, 4/30 and 5/14. If these dates don't work for you let me know. Of course Joey can come (your others are welcome also), we can put them to work!
