FEEDBACK ON CLUB EVENTS
In addition to our usual club events (CCR, track workouts, Crim, etc.), we appreciate your feedback on what you would like to see from our club in the future…for example, are you interested in a club happy hour, another club night at Running Fit (20% discount applies for one night only), more team races, opportunities to volunteer at a race with a Ford Runners Club team? Also, for upcoming meetings, are there any topics that you would like to see covered and, if so, is there a local expert that you can share with us?
Please send suggestions to Gayle Krueger (GKRUEGE7) or any club officer (see the list below) and we will adjust programming based on the majority of feedback received. Thank you!
