Grant called the meeting to order at 7:20pm.

Previous meeting minutes approved with changes.

Reports:

Newsletter: The Board unanimously agreed that some type of mailing should still be produced by the Club in addition to the new online newsletter format. This mailing would not include any of the race results or other information that could be easily accessed on the website. The idea of allowing advertisers to buy space in the mailing was discussed as a way to keep costs down.

Track Workouts/Saturday Long Run: Progressing as usual with details available on website.

Races: Two new race opportunities were discussed as possible additions to the race calendar. The Club’s policy forbidding strollers and headphones in Club races was confirmed and Board members were tasked with publicizing the policy at races. Emergency preparedness at races was also discussed, with Max looking into the feasibility of CPR classes for interested volunteers. Finally, the 2007 Race Calendar Committee was established.

Finances: Grant reports no significant changes; no official report from Getek.

Membership: DCRRC membership statistics by gender, state, member type, age group and gender, and age group and state available online.

Website: Several formatting changes were discussed and will be emailed to the Webmaster.

Other Business:

1. Club Equipment: The van has been moved to Ian’s house in Alexandria, VA for temporary storage.

2. All-Members’ Meeting at Hugh Jascourt 4-Miler: Members approved capital expenditures of up to $5000.

Grant adjourned the meeting at 8:45pm.

Next meeting: Monday, September 11, 2006.
