Attire Coordinator - DCRRC is looking for someone to sell club merchandise.
This involves maintaining a stock of the club’s attire, coordinating shipping
or delivery of attire to club members interested in purchasing it. It
also involves accepting checks and sending them to the club treasurer.
Ideally, the coordinator of the club’s attire would also attend some DCRRC
events to display clothing to club members, but this is not required.
Anyone interested should email president@dcroadrunners.org.
SLR
Beverage Managers – Our Saturday Morning Long Run group is looking for people
to be responsible for beverages for one month terms. Particularly if you
are an “SLR Regular”, please consider signing up for a month and giving a
little back to the group that gives you so much! If you are willing to be
a one-month beverage manager, please contact David at SLRguy@dcroardunners.org.
Thanks in advance for helping out.
Awards
Chairman – Pat Finn has dutifully held this position for a decade. He’s
passing the baton. Are you interested? Please contact Susan at President@dcroadrunners.org
if you wish to keep our club supplied with awards for our events. Thank
you.
