Rocky Mount Endurance Kids - Back in Session!

Submittied By: Tracy Prcotor

RMEK volunteers are needed! The RMEC is getting ready to start up the fall session of Rocky Mount Endurance Kids and we need your help. This program was a big success in the spring with nearly 100 children participating in our "test" program over a 10 week period and nearly half competing in the Fun Run for Charities in May. There has been interest from parents and children concerning this program in the fall and I would love to offer it again. In the spring the program was offered twice a week once at the trail by the Y and once at Red Oak Park, I would like to offer this again if I can get a lead person to help. I will take the Thursday session at Red Oak again and would like to offer either a Monday or Tuesday date as well.
Tentatively speaking, a start date around mid September is ideal through mid November. In addition to a "leader" we will need several volunteers through out the program to come and run with the children. Each session is an hour long and you do not have to commit to every session. Let me know when you are available and/or how many sessions you can help with and I will get you on the schedule. There is no planning on your part! I will have the schedule done and get you the handout information. All you have to do is come out and do what we all enjoy doing and RUN EASY for an hour offering encouragement and advise.
Please let us know ASAP if you are willing to help and contact me for more details if you are interested in taking on the other weekly session. The volunteers were great in the past and all seemed to have really enjoyed it.
We would love to see the great response again from the RMEC, let's not let the children down!

    I would love to do this again, Tracy. I hope that Elaine will do this with me. Count me in for the YMCA location. I know of several kids who are very interested.
    Thanks for all you have done with this group. I am out of town on September 14th and 15th, but am available any other time. I can't wait!

    You are awesome Misty! I was so impressed with both you and Elaine last time. These kids are lucky to have coaches as great as you guys.

    I would love to be a part of this again with Misty at the YMCA location. Tuesday will be a better day. I will also be out of town on the 14th and 15th.
    Thanks for organizing this Tracey. You put together a great program for our club, and the kids in our community.

    I can help again. Mondays, Tues, or Thurs. Weds aren't good because of XC meets. Ashley
