4. Extra extra thanks to Kris Ihrke and Rob Anglin, who waited with me in the growing dusk until Mr. Whitney could come and unlock the Coke trailer...where I had locked my car keys...
5. Here's a good opportunity to give a shout-out to Coaches Brett, Andrea, and Steve...Managers Toby, Alec, and Morgan. They put in a lot of extra time for this event since we host it. Lots of planning goes into this for them! Also want to recognize former coach Matt Wittman and Andrea's husband Mike for their work behind the scenes with the timing system!
5. Okay, enough thanks! Here's an action item: If you used a volunteer t-shirt and did not yet return it, please leave it in the Activities Office at your earliest convenience! We will get those stored away until next year's festivities :) Also: Missing many of the Course Marshal course maps. If you have a laminated course map, please return it to Activities Office
6. Please let me know if you have suggestions for next year! Obviously there is a tremendous amount happening in many different places...you all are the eyes and ears. Very important for us to continue to improve our process! Email me at mayorunning@gmail.com if you have something to share...or call me at 507-269-1855 if it's easier!
7. There is leftover water (15 cents each), gatorade (50 cents each), and power bars (75 cents each). Would love to sell some of those to you! Let me know if you would like some :)
Homecoming this week! There will be lots of extra activity!
