2016 Season
Dear Cross Country Families-
It is with feelings that are both sad and excited that I send you this message...
After what feels like forever... but is actually only 9 years...I will not have a child running Cross Country this year :(.
Elizabeth has decided to swim for her last two years of high school. She has battled shin splints every XC season and spent so little time actually running that the decision was pretty easy for her to make.
I want to start by saying thank you to all of you! One of the reasons that I spent the time reaching out to parents is because Cross Country parents are so great! It is clear why this is such a great sport. Families run together, parents support all kids, and the kids are taught the values that we want them to learn from being in a sport. We are so lucky!
At this time, there are no plans to continue with this blog...which is okay! There are other ways for families to get the information that has been posted here in the past...mostly through you! You are an experienced Cross Country parent now...so go out and help the new parents! Make contact, teach them what they need, where to go, how it works...
Brett's first concern when I told him that I would no longer be helping him was Subway sandwiches for the meets. If you are willing to take on this task, please let Brett know! Based on his response, I believe he will be so glad to have this support. If you are willing and would like any guidance from me, please let me know! I'm happy to tell you what I have done in the past to set this up for the kids.
In addition, the Mayo Invitational will need lots of help! If you are willing to head up one of the volunteer areas-first aid, course marshals, concessions, t-shirts, set up/clean up, hostess, finish line, volunteers-please email Brett and let him know.
That's all from me! I know that some of you have kids in girls' swimming as well so I will look forward to still seeing you there...have a great cross country season!

Volunteer Opportunities
Hello Mayo Running!
Have had some volunteer opportunities come through my email...wanted to share them with you!
1. Paws and Claws Fundraiser: Hello all! We need help moving items for our rummage sale on Friday February 27th Saturday, Feb 28 in the a.m. Will be starting at 3:00 pm on Friday afternoon moving items that are in our upstairs storage area down to a staging area in the back hall at our shelter. We need people with strong legs and strong arms to go up and down the stairs. There are items both heavy and lighter that need to be carried. Saturday morning we will be meeting at 8 am at the shelter to load a semi truck to take the items over to the Olmsted County Fairgrounds where we will hold our rummage sale
If you are able to help on either these days and are also willing to transport some items in your vehicle Saturday am over to the fairgrounds, we would greatly appreciate it. This is a huge effort. Every year we earn lots of money and recycle many, many items that would end up in the landfills into dollars that help our cats and dogs. We cannot thank enough the many many people who have helped us over the years in this effort, and I thank you in advance for helping us this year. All of the items have been boxed and should be easy to handle.
You do not need to be an official volunteer to help with this, so feel free to bring a friend or one of your teenagers who has a lot of energy and wants to help with good cause. If you're coming Friday, meet us at 3:00 in the back hall and Saturday meet us at am in the back of the shelter. Please park your vehicles up front and both times.
Thanks!
