Parental Help at the SR Marathon

Parents we need you. The Santa Rosa Marathon is this Sunday the 26th. We spoke about it at the preseason meeting and I know many of you expressed interest. Your job would be the lead person at the water stations. We need to meet at Julliard Park at 6AM on Sunday. The marathon people want me to give them specific names for lead parents. The job is pretty simple, fill cups and keep filling cups with water. Please let me know as soon as possible. If your are a new parent please help us out. We stand to make 3-5 thousand dollars for our water efforts. Our kids have already begun to get ready, our captains assigning teams and there is going to be intersquad competition for the best water station. Every one should be home by 2 PM on Sunday. It is really pretty simple work. I can do it. Contact me by phone at 528-0627 or email zeemie@aol.com This is a major fundraiser and will keep us going for a long time. Thanks in advance. Even if you do not want to be a lead water tableperson we could still use your help.

School Begins

School begins tomorrow. The Cross Country team will be meeting at the track(Nevers Field) at 3:15. Everyone on the team or who is thinking about joing needs to be there.

Where we practice

Where we practice! I am giving a brief description of the sites of our practices. You can pick up your child from any of these sites or at the school where we always return. We always begin at the school at Nevers Field for every practice at 3:15. The exceptions are the Barbecue Run on Friday Aug 17, where we will meet at noon at Nevers. If you want to go there directly that is fine. We should be done by 1:30 or thereabouts if you want to pick your child up from the park. I will bring back kids I can to the school if you don’t pick them up at the park. The other exceptions are Labor Day where we meet at the Graveyard at 10AM. Saturday runs we meet at 9AM at Howarth Park. Oak Knoll. Our most visited site. It is located at the Western end of Spring Lake Park just right of the Ranger station on Newanga which is off of the Hoen/Summerfield intersection. Follow the Spring Lake signs. Howarth Park.

Near to the Channel Dr entrance to Annadel State Park. Parktrail. Off of Summerfield just south of Hoen Ave. Up a block on the left. Boatramp. Just like going to Oak Knoll except you turn right at the Ranger Station and follow the road to its conclusion into a parking lot. The Graveyard. The Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery on Franklin.

Camp Meeting Wrapup

Thanks to all who attendended tonight's Cross Country meeting. As always it was filled with enthusiasm and good company. Nice to see all of the new teammates and parents and of course our veterans as well. I would like to apologize to our camp counselors who I failed to mention even though you were in my first time typed notes for the meeting. Anyway Camp counselors in attendance tonight were Matt Taylor, Reesey Byers, Kelly Brooks, McKennan Bertsch and missing were Rebecca McGillivary and Tenzing Sherpa. That is one fine lineup of counselors. Our kids are very fortunate to have that group of counselors at camp. Camp will be great!
