It has been a while since the RMEC has had a social gathering that wasn't at a race, on the roads, or in the trails. I think it is time that we all get together for an old fashion cookout and pot luck dinner. Plus, we never formally had our annual meeting and I never tried to collect annual dues (although some of you overzealous members sent a check anyway).
May 15th is the date for the Fun Run for Charities, so I expect this is a weekend that most of you are in town. I know we will never pick a weekend when all 50 club members are in Rocky Mount, so we kind of need to pick a date and go with it. So if we do a cookout the late afternoon/evening of Saturday May 15th, who can make it?
EVERYONE is welcome. If you run every weekend, or have never been out to a group run, this is a chance to meet everyone. Don't be intimidated about showing up. To be honest, no one in the club knows everybody (not even me). So don't feel like you are going to show up and not fit in. The RMEC prides itself on being an organization that welcomes and encourages anybody who wants to run.
Please post a comment if you would like to attend. We still need to work out the details about where and the exact time. I will send out an email too so everyone knows. Right now I am just getting a general idea. Families are of course welcome!
This weekend will also give us a chance to update the picture at the top of the blog!
I'll make it for sure!
ReplyDeleteJon and I are in, too!
ReplyDeleteThe Lord family would love to be there!
ReplyDeleteLooks like I am free that evening. I can offer our place once again to host if needed. (Instead of celebrating Daniel's birthday with him this time you can all celebrate our anniversary with us--week early). Good thing he loves my running friends so much!!
ReplyDeleteI'll plan to be there also.
ReplyDeleteI think its a great idea and I think I could make it.

I'm in.
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of people will be running the Fun Run for Charities that morning, but is anyone interested in running the Inside-Out Sports Classic Half Marathon the next morning (Sunday) in Cary...It's a trail half in Umstead Park on the bridle trails. Ran it last year and gonna go again this year. Let me know if you are interested.
I'll be running the Inside-Out-Sports 1/2. It's the last race in the "Spring" Second Empire Series of races. I would love to run the Charities race on Sat. but need a good points race at the 1/2 to end the series. I'll be at the Charities race as a spectator. See you there.

Bullard's can make it in the evening. Fun Run Duties and then Riley's Dance Recital that day - will look forward to a cold beverage!
ReplyDeleteWe are up to about 30 people right now. We are planning for 5:00 pm at the Proctor's home. More details will follow.
ReplyDeleteI think that me, Devan and Gabe can come--Tampa's working that day.
ReplyDeleteI know I am late responding. Count me in. Jeff will probably be there as well. Let me know what I can bring.
ReplyDeleteI may not make it after all. Let me see how Saturday PM unfolds....should know by mid-week. Sorry for the wishy-washyness.
